+   using the `Styler.to_latex() <../reference/api/pandas.io.formats.style.Styler.to_latex.rst>`__ method
+   over `DataFrame.to_latex() <../reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.to_latex.rst>`__ due to the former's greater flexibility with
+   conditional styling, and the latter's possible future deprecation.
+
+Review the documentation for `Styler.to_latex <../reference/api/pandas.io.formats.style.Styler.to_latex.rst>`__,
+which gives examples of conditional styling and explains the operation of its keyword
+arguments.

+For simple application the following pattern is sufficient.
