The rst2latex.py front end reads standalone reStructuredText
source files and produces LaTeX2e output. For example, to process a
reStructuredText file "test.txt" into LaTeX:
rst2latex.py test.txt test.tex
The output file "test.tex" should then be processed with latex
or pdflatex to get a typeset document.
Some limitations and difference apply:
- GIF, JPG and PNG images are not handled, when processed with
latex; use pdflatex instead.
- Only the Latin-1 output encoding has been tested up to now (Latin-1
has been made the default output encoding for LaTeX).
- The generated file includes a file style.tex, which allows the
inclusion of special packages or changes to settings made in the
header.
- Not all constructs are possible (e.g. row/column spans in tables are
not).
