Research direction

Read writers/latex.py and locate the standard HEADER, FOOTER and BEGIN_DOC variables and how configuration values reach the LaTeX writer. Done means those three variables can be fully customized through the config file without changing writers/latex.py.

Description

builder:latex

It would be great if the standard variables HEADER, FOOTER and BEGIN_DOC of writers/latex.py could be set in a fully customizable manner through the config file.
