After reviewing doorstop for a number of years at different companies I have always gotten stuck on the fact that there is no native publisher for LaTeX. Sure, it is possible to go through
pandoc, but the results have been less that satisfactory.So, I have finally decided to write a LaTeX-publisher for doorstop and I hope that it should fulfill everyone's needs.
I have included a simple template for LaTeX so it should be very easy to create nice and customized PDF:s directly from doorstop, so the need for the first part of #295 should be more or less gone. It should also take care of #166 for anyone that is willing to use LaTeX, as changing the existing template or using a company-template is quite straightforward.
I have also included LaTeX-packages to allow linking both inside documents and between documents, so that the produced PDFs have a traceability matrix at the end of the document that is clickable even to other documents. Each link to child and parent items are also clickable.
In the same spirit of having a fully customizable template that generates PDFs of high quality with linking between documents, this PR might be useful for the issues #515 and #314.
I have taken care to create a complete test suite for the LaTeX-functionality, tested on Linux and Mac OS X, and as far as I can see no other tests have broken either.
