[reportlab-users] [ANN] rst2pdf version 0.9 released

[Roberto Alsina]

I have the pleasure of announcing version 0.9 of this 
Rst-to-PDF-via-reportlab tool.

This release fixes two major bugs, and adds one major feature 
(math support).

You can get it via PyPI (package rst2pdf) or from Google Code: 
http://rst2pdf.googlecode.com

Here are some of the features it provides:

* LaTeX style math support (requires matplotlib)
* User-defined page layout. Multiple frames per page, multiple 
  layouts per document.
* Cascading stylesheet mechanism, define only what you want changed 
* Supports TTF and Type1 font embedding using a custom stylesheet 
* "Floating" sidebars (or almost any element) 
* Any number of paragraph styles using the class directive 
* Any number of character styles using text roles
* Styled table headers and cells 
* Custom page sizes and margins. 
* Syntax highlighter for many languages, using Pygments 
* Supports hyphenation (using wordaxe) 
* Full user's manual

You can see a sample of some features here: http://tinyurl.com/5e4h3j

by definition, not smart enough to debug it. --Brian W. Kernighan
