Hello guys !

I wanted to ask you if you had ever found the pdf version of the manual
useful for anything, or if we could just give it up.

The problem we have is that the category/ folder contains things like

class A:
    class B:
        class C:
            class D:
                def Hey():
                     pass

and that function "Hey" does not appear in the doc as a result. A ticket
[1] was opened for this 4 years ago but it got stuck because documenting
these functions leads Sphinx to generate a LaTeX document that does not
compile, because "the nesting is too important".

This should of course remind us that we cannot trust LaTeX with anything,
but more importantly we *DO* need those functions to appear in the
documentation.

So well. Given that the ticket is already 4 years old, if everybody agrees
that the pdf documentation is totally useless, we could just throw it away
and have all our functions appear in the doc at zero cost.

Have fun !

Nathann

P.S. : If you never opened the PDF version of the manual you can see for
yourself how useless it is to find any info by going there :

(yes, many doctests cross the margins)
