OK, now I have a bone to pick with you. I applied this, then decided to install the needed toolchain on the Tumbleweed system I've been playing with; it wanted to install 1,727 packages to get pdflatex. Pandoc just doesn't seem so bad anymore. So I switched to the Fedora system, and found myself in a twisty maze of missing font files, missing style files, missing babel crap, etc., each doled out to me one file per run. But I did eventually get PDFs out of it. The output isn't great; among other things, it seems to be about 1/2 blank pages. But it's something. I've applied this so we have something to play with, but it doesn't feel like a great solution. This is the sort of installation hell that we wanted to get away from. It makes me wonder how hard it can really be to fix rst2pdf; I wish I could say I'll find some time to figure that out.
