Is it possible to include LaTeX into Sphinx?

Question

The Sphinx Titlepage can be customized in conf.py with "latex_elements" and the "preamble" directive but i cant find a solution to include normal latex source code into sphinx. The reason is that i want to customize some pages of the document with latex.

Is there a way to include Latex-Code in the body of an document?

(I've define a latex-"newcommand" in the preamble in conf.py but dont know how to call it in sphinx)

Answer 1

You can do it 2 ways:

The first way is that you can define it when you use it:

My raw code:
.. raw:: latex

     code here

The other way is that you can define it at the end of the file and use it:

My raw code: |rawcode|

.. |rawcode| raw::

     codehere

Answer 2

In conf.py you can define a new command like /newcommand{\newCom}{...} .

In a sphinx text file this command can be referenced with:

.. raw:: latex

        \newCom

Crucial was the newline after the ".. raw:: latex" command, it seems as if omitting that was the issue.
