I came up with what seemed to me to be a simpler solution. I put the macros
in my preamble.rst between two comment lines that I could recognize and
remove easily using sed. I then used a wrapper script to build the pdf that
fist removed the macors in preamble.rst, then build the pdf, and then
replaced the original preamble.rst. Here is my preamble.rst:
.. |space| unicode:: 0xA0
.. |tab| replace:: |space| |space| |space| |space|
.. comment BEGIN_LATEX_MACROS
These latex macros must also be defined in latex_elements in
conf.py
.. rst-class:: hidden
:math:`\newcommand{\B}[1]{ {\bf #1} }`
:math:`\newcommand{\R}[1]{ {\rm #1} }`
.. comment END_LATEX_MACROS
My problem is that I would like to use ReadtheDocs to display my
documentation, but I do no know how to get it to run a script between
building the html and build the pdf ?
Perhaps there is a way in preamble.rst to conditionaly include the macros
depending on if latex or html conversion is being done ?
