sphinx-tabs handling in LaTeX output

[ronstone2000]

I am assessing sphinx-tabs for use in a workflow that must support PDF as well as HTML. I don't see explicit documentation of PDF support, but looking at past posts, some people seem to have requested formatting/ordering improvements to the PDF output, implying that some sort of rendering is provided. However, when I use

sphinx-build -b latex ...

no tabbed content is passed through. I have set

sphinx_tabs_valid_builders = ['latex']

Can someone clarify the level/type of LaTeX support? Specifically, I would want to linearize the output so that tabs and subtabs are converted to headers+content.

If LaTeX is not supported, I would like to request it as an enhancement and can follow up to start a discussion of what features would make sense for the community.

Can anyone provide guidance on this? Thanks.

Any solution to this? tabs produce quite unsatisfactory LaTeX documents....

LaTeX/PDF support is minimal at best - I think we test a pdf build using rhinotype, which just writes the tab names and content in plain text.

I'd be happy to try and improve this, but would need a clear description of what you want the output to look like for each of the current tab types. I don't have experience using LaTeX, so it would be great if you could also provide a demo document and build instructions for me to test with. Sound good?

Edit: collating the requirements through a discussion also sounds like a great idea :)

[tmp.pdf](https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-tabs/files/10887983/tmp.pdf) Thanks David for your quick and kind reply to my comment. I will try to explain my use case here. I wrote a book with sphinx and would like to produce a pdf too. If you look at the html output https://webgol.dinfo.unifi.it/OptimizationModels/LinearModels.html you will see three tabs very well organized. If I generate a pdf, however, I get what you see in the attachment. In practice I get a paragraph start with three lines: AMPL Julia Pyomo followed by three different listings with no mention of the tab name (AMPL/Julia/Pyomo) in their caption). It would be enough, for me, to remove the three tab names from the Latex output (AMP,Julia, Pyomo) and to add them as a caption in the displayed figures . E.g., Listing 1 (AMPL): Al6061.dat What is your opinion? thank you and all my best regards fabio
