[IPython-dev] several bugs in ipython nbconvert --to latex

[Stephan Sahm]

Dear all,

today "ipython nbconvert --to pdf" didn't worked on my ipython notebook. I
spend some hours to break the errors down and surprisingly found a whole
bunch of bugs in the conversion from the notebook to the latex
representation (at least compared to the html version).

I made a little notebook with the example cases and descriptions how far I
understood the bugs.
It would be great if someone who knows how to fix those can do so for the
next release.

I used the current git-version from ipython (11.09.2014, branch master) on
Ubuntu 14.04. (I used texlive-full as latex)

As I now understand how to circumvent the gaps, I can use the latex
conversion perfectly, but nevertheless I think those bugs deserve to be
fixed.

One feature request to the end: if the latex conversion works right, it
would be great to have a kind of "export as..." menu-entry in a future
ipython notebook to select several formats like especially latex and
pdf(through latex).

hoping for some reply,

with best wishes,

Stephan
