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...

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.

Thanks for any feedback,
