Hi all,

just wanted to note a small pitfall when using Sphinx with LaTeX output
and the babel set to ngerman.

The german and ngerman LaTeX packages install shortcuts for things like
"a to mean ä and for "s to mean ß etc., Sphinx does not know about
these, so some RST construct like:

  Ein Beispiel "abc"

would create this in PDF:

  Ein Beispiel äbc"

To fix this, one needs to disable the shortcuts via '\shorthandoff{"}'
in the right place (not sure yet what it is, it needs to go inside the
\begin{document} Block, so maybe just a .. raw:: latex block in the
toplevel file?)
