Hi again, Travis is returning an error because I have added pdflatex to the requirements. I think the problem is that we are still using a 16.04 machine, with python 3.5 in Travis and PDFLAtex is only available on pip in python >= 3.6
Is there a reason to keep this old setup for travis, would it make sense to upgrade? at least for 18.04 now that 20.04 already available. Otherwise, I can simply remove the requirement https://travis-ci.org/github/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/builds/699870137 Thanks, Alexandre Neto On Thu, Jun 18, 2020 at 10:22 PM Alexandre Neto <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Based on some work done by Richard and Håvard, I have tried to revive the > ability to create PDFs for the main documents. > > https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/pull/5729 > > I only tested with English outputs, but I hope it works with most > languages too. > > Thanks! > > Alexandre Neto > > > On Fri, Apr 24, 2020 at 9:03 AM Richard Duivenvoorde <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Sure :-) >> >> And to be clear: I'm not against creating (or providing docs about >> creating) pdf's/latex.
