I've been getting this traceback on a document that previously rendered just fine: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/rst2newlatex", line 25, in <module> publish_cmdline(writer_name='newlatex2e', description=description) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/core.py", line 331, in publish_cmdline config_section=config_section, enable_exit_status=enable_exit_status) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/core.py", line 205, in publish output = self.writer.write(self.document, self.destination) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/writers/__init__.py", line 76, in write self.translate() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/writers/newlatex2e/__init__.py", line 92, in translate self.document.walkabout(visitor) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 173, in walkabout if child.walkabout(visitor): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 173, in walkabout if child.walkabout(visitor): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 173, in walkabout if child.walkabout(visitor): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 173, in walkabout if child.walkabout(visitor): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 173, in walkabout if child.walkabout(visitor): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 165, in walkabout visitor.dispatch_visit(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/writers/newlatex2e/__init__.py", line 716, in dispatch_visit getattr(self, 'before_' + node.__class__.__name__)(node) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/writers/newlatex2e/__init__.py", line 404, in before_generated node[0] = node[0].strip() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 548, in __setitem__ self.setup_child(item) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 92, in setup_child child.parent = self AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'parent' Document in question here: http://tigervnc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tigervnc/rfbproto/rfbproto.rst
Duplicated the failure. What is the version of docutils that you used previously that worked?
I just looked at the upstream tree and found that the latex2e/newlatex writer has been removed from the next version of docutils due to having no maintainer upstream. what's different between the rst2latex and rst2newlatex commands? Will rst2latex do a satisfactory job for you?
It was ages since I used this tool, so it was probably whatever docutils was in F13, or possibly even F12. rst2latex produced horrible output back then. It might be better now, but unfortunately it also seems broken as it produces latex that pdflatex refuses to use.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
