In LaTeX, literal blocks can be customized with the "literal-block-env" setting. This test file exists to check if the LaTeX writer output compiles and looks as expected. Start with a plain literal block:: $\sin^2(x)$ and $\cos^2(x)$ equals one: \[ \sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1 % for all x \] A latex "code-block" (set with "literal-block-env", if syntax highlight is "none"): .. code:: latex $\sin^2(x)$ and $\cos^2(x)$ equals one: \[ \sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1 % for all x \] A literal block in a table: ==== =========== ==== test :: test \sin^2 x ==== =========== ==== A literal block in a table with auto-width columns: .. table:: :widths: auto ==== =========== ==== test :: test \sin^2 x ==== =========== ==== .. note:: A literal block in an admonition:: \sin^2 x .. role:: custom .. role:: custom-role Parsed literal block with inline markup and leading whitespace: .. parsed-literal:: *emphasis*, **strong emphasis**, ``inline literals``, standalone hyperlinks (http://www.python.org), internal_ and external_ hyperlinks, _`internal` hyperlink targets, images via substitution references (|example|), footnote references [*]_, citation references ([CIT2002]_), and more.
