1. Citation keys are broken.
If a citation reference has an underscore, [like_this],
then with --use-latex-citations the LaTeX writer will
produce
\bibitem[like{\_}this]{like{\_}this}
That places forbidden characters in the citekey.
It should produce
\bibitem[like{\_}this]{like_this}
2. It would be very nice to be able to
--use-bibtex-for-citations
--bibliographystyle=mystyle.bst
--bibliography=mybib.bib
- suppress the citations
- \usepackage{natbib}
- produce citation references \cite{like_this}
- add \bibliographystyle{mystyle} \bibliography{mybib}
3. Just a comment on rst2latex vs. rst2newlatex: the
movement here is exactly the opposite of my preference,
if I understand it. Of course I am not presumptuously
claiming it is "wrong": forcing LaTeX that way may be
what most users want. (Is it?) What I want out of
a LaTeX writer is the heaviest possible reliance on LaTeX
with the fewest "tricks". I really hope that
rst2newlatex is not destined to *replace* rst2latex but
rather to "surpass" it for needs of some users (not me).
fwiw,
