I don't mean to restart a discussion if this has already happened here, but I'm very interested in this question and don't know what you are referring to. Could you provide me with a quick pointer to the relevant discussion if it happened before, or just a brief summary? I'd greatly appreciate it... > 2) Global References section. Is it not possible to enable global references for sphinx? The reason I'm very interested in these issues is b/c the new web-based notebook in ipython will eventually (it doesn't quite yet) export to reST/sphinx for high-quality pdf production using the sphinx-latex capabilities. So for us, it's really important to understand what limitations may exist (and we might be able to fix some of them, if it's doable). With IPython, we'd like to shorten the gap between interactive computational exploration and final publication as much as possible, so that final paper/book outputs are as reproducible as is realistic. One of the issues (IMO) that gets in the way of easily reproducible computational results is the large disconnect between original codes and final results: by the time you've massaged your outputs into something publishable, you've long stopped running your real codes. If we could get much closer to a true 'executable paper', I think we'd make progress on this issue. Hence, our interest in seeing how much we'll be able to use sphinx for final paper/book production.
