The new LaTeX writer (newlatex2e) is in active development. These are

development notes -- edit ahead! Ultimately, they will be moved to

the global to-do list, but while newlatex2e is incomplete, they remain

* It appears that all visit_ methods can be turned into before_

methods (and renamed thereafter).

* Also pass raw text (foo_bar) and not only renderable text (foo{\_}bar).

Check for the existence of the variable \pdfoutput:
26
\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined
27
\pdffalse % we are not running PDFLaTeX
29
\pdfoutput=1 % we are running PDFLaTeX
32
Then use your new variable \ifpdf
34
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}

* Need to get some simple docinfo field handling. Move language look-up logic to nodes.py?
43
* Footnotes should be placed on the same page as their references.
44
However, there may be multiple references per footnote, so
45
we'll probably need an option and some sophisticated handling for this.
47
* Make sure we don't break ligatures (and possibly hyphenation) with zealous brace protection.
48
See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.text.docutils.user/2586.

* Tables inside of footnotes have too large vertical margins.
51
Need a "reduced vertical margin" mode, maybe?
53
* There's not enough vertical space between fields::
62
* Another edge case with too much vertical margin::

* We want to support underscores in citation references, they need to
74
* If there's raw code between paragraphs, it gets appended to the last
75
paragraph unless we do ``\par``. That's a little bit ugly. Can we
76
fix this? (Change paragraph handling maybe?)
78
* Test that, say, all Latin 1 characters are renderable. (And
79
possibly test more characters.)
