Package: python-sphinx
Version: 1.1.3+dfsg
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch

Newer versions of docutils (>=0.8) report full language name rather than
shortcodes and hence breaking pdf compilation in de, sl, pt, es, nl, pl and it
locales as the \shorthandoff directive is not added and triggering latex is
generated.

I submitted the patch upstream and it was accepted.

How can I reproduce this bug? A minimal test case would be great.




* add the following to the bottom of manual/source/conf.py:
language = 'de'
* run 'make clean latex'
* view the build/latex/Mahara.tex file with an editor.
* You should see the following after the preamble and \def stuff:
\begin{document}

\maketitle
* after applying the changes in the patches and viewing the .tex file
again, you should see this:
\begin{document}
\shorthandoff{"}
\maketitle
