Comment (by nthiery):
Thanks much Travis for investigating!
I agree that there should be a recommendation for not nesting classes
too deep, for the sake of readability. But having a hard arbitrary
limit -- especially that small -- is annoying. Shame on LaTeX. Of
course, one can always spin off a subtree of nested classes into a
separate tree, but there are cases where one has a deep tree with very
few lines and no natural splitting point. For example, #10963
introduces
{{{
DistributiveMagmasAndAdditiveMagmas.AdditiveAssociative.AdditiveCommutative.AdditiveUnital.AdditiveInverse
}}}
Hmm. Altogether, I would call this a LaTeX arbitrary hard
limitation. Luckily there seems to be an easy solution to increase
this limitation to something large enough to cover our current use
cases, namely to use the package enumitem [1]. By itself, it brings
the nesting level to 6, and we could even increase it further (10
should be really safe) using \setlistdepth{9}.
I have attached the little latex file I used for testing.
What do you think? Shall we add enumitems to the list of latex
packages loaded by Sphinx? Is this standard enough, or shall we add
enumitem.sty to the Sage distribution?
Cheers,
Nicolas
