See #78.

This is untested, I hope it works!

docs: Add CLiC screenshot as PDF logo
b769795 
readthedocs doesn't support converting the SVG logo to PDF, so we can use it in LaTeX.

Ideally we would use https://github.com/sephalon/sphinxcontrib-svg2pdfconverter
and convert to PDF, but rsvg-convert isn't available in RTD yet:

Thanks for merging!

How is the release process of this image?

When will it be available on readthedocs.org?

Hi all! rsvg-convert was installed in our latest testing image 5.0rc1 (not released yet). I'd like to know if you want to help us testing it. In that case, please let me know what are the projects you are interested on testing it and I will apply this Docker image for its building process.

@humitos

I have a branch for testing it here: https://nbsphinx.readthedocs.io/en/rsvg/

It would be great if you could give it a try!

Currently the build passes but building the LaTeX output results in:

WARNING: RSVG converter command 'rsvg-convert' cannot be run. Check the rsvg_converter_bin setting

... and the SVG images are not shown.

As soon as it works, there should be a few SVG images in the resulting PDF, e.g. there:

Hrm... It failed, but with another error https://readthedocs.org/projects/nbsphinx/builds/8391747/

Any clue?

BTW, I love nbsphinx ;)

Hmm .. no idea. I'm wondering why xpdf is mentioned in the error ...

@mgeier would you like to open an issue in the .org repository so we can get more eyes on it and maybe other people can help us to debug/research?

@humitos I think there is actually a different issue involved, regarding auto-downloading of remote files. I'll investigate further an come back as soon as I know more ...

Just a little follow-up:

I think there is actually a different issue involved

It was indeed a different issue. A single SVG file was somehow broken, see spatialaudio/nbsphinx#319

In the end rsvg-convert works great on RTD, thanks for making this possible!

It looks like this has been reverted in #166.

Was this intentional?

@mgeier with the new build.apt_packages config file key, users can install APT packages https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config-file/v2.html#build-apt-packages. Due to that, this package is not required anymore to be installed by default.
