[Docutils-users] Define Latex packages in reST file

[Masood Azizi]

Hello,

We used |Docutils| to produce reST document, and then make a TeX file
via |rst2latex|.

In the |rst| file, we have added a lot of LaTeX code like:

|.. raw:: latex ~\\ \rule{\textwidth}{1pt} ~\\ |

But I do not know where to add packages like |\usepackage{tabulary}|.

If I add it in the |rst| file like I've shown above, even in the very
beginning, this |\usepackage| line is automatically added
after |\begin{document}| in the tex output file. This obviously
generates an error.

Any idea where can I add |\usepackage| commands in reST?

Thanks

hmm maybe latex_preamble or stylesheet

Currently, preamble code must be added in a configuration file or command
line option.

See http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/config.html
and look for

(BTW: there is a long-standing issue/discussion about allowing preamble code
in an rST document, see http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/dev/todo.html

misc.raw: add a "destination" option to the "raw" directive?

.. raw:: html
:destination: head

<link ...>

It needs thought & discussion though, to come up with a consistent set of
destination labels and consistent behavior.
