And "make htmldocs" does produce real HTML! At first glance anyway,
quite impressive.
However, "make pdfdocs" gives me this complaint:
! Dimension too large.
\color@b@x ... #3}\kern \fboxsep }\dimen@ \ht \z@
\advance \dimen@
\fboxsep ...
l.5092 \end{sphinxVerbatim}
This appears to come from Documentation/output/latex/RCU.tex.
There is nevertheless an RCU.pdf in this directory. It is not
bad, but has a figure full of XML on PDF page 21. And a few later
on as well.
On the HTML side, the quick quizzes have immediately visible answers,
which defeats the purpose. The original HTML used a white font,
so that you selected the answer with your mouse to make it visible.
Can something similar be done with Sphinx? Another approach is to
gather the answers into a separate file and link to them.
I believe that Joel already noted that internal links are not working.
The external links that I tried work just fine, though. As do the
links from the table of contents.
Thanx, Paul
