Problems building pdf with nested tables

[andygotz]

The Hdb++ documentation has nested tables in the device interface documentation. When trying to build the pdf version on my laptop using the command "make latexpdf" I get this error:

Markup is unsupported in LaTeX: administration/services/hdbpp/hdbpp-es_doc/FullDocument-hdbpp-es:: nested tables are not yet implemented. Makefile:114: recipe for target 'latexpdf' failed make: *** [latexpdf] Error 1

I see the nested tables are rendered on the html version but how to get them rendered in pdf? The pdf version on readthedocs does not seem to have them either.

Yes, the RtD builder is reporting the same issue: http://readthedocs.org/projects/tango-controls/builds/5830248/

I wonder if we need these tables in the documentation? Maybe we can remove them for now.

[piogor]

I have already started splitting, but I may remove them instead.

[andygotz]

I would remove this file for now. It is very detailed and should be part of the auto generated doxygen documentation.

There is also https://github.com/tango-controls/tango-doc/blob/master/source/administration/services/hdbpp/hdbpp-cm_doc/FullDocument-hdbpp-cm.rst file which is generated documentation. There, the tables are un-nested. Shell I remove it, too?

Yes

The documentation is now built correctly. I am closing the bug and creating new task - to add external links to device servers documentation.
