Broken PDF doc generation

[aulemahal]

Setup Information

• xscen version: main
• Python version: 3.11
• Operating System: Linux

Description

The pdf build fails : https://readthedocs.org/projects/xscen/builds/23376517/

Steps To Reproduce

cd xscen/docs/
python -m sphinx -T -b latex -d _build/doctrees -D language=en . _build/pdf
cd _build/pdf
latexmk -r latexmkrc -pdf -f -dvi- -ps- -jobname=xscen -interaction=nonstopmode

Additional context

Something is wrong in the latex code around the point where the table in the notebook is being compiled. I have avoided the error by manually inserting a closing brace "}" after the opening of the table environment in the intermediate xscen.tex file. But, of course, the table output is completely messed up in the pdf.

I suggest we drop the pdf compilation. I feel this issue is not worth anymore of our time. I have done that in #340, but we could decide the fix is not temporary.

Contribution

• I would be willing/able to open a Pull Request to address this bug.

Agreed. I'm not sure that anyone looks at the PDF...
