@AakashGfude thanks for putting this together -- I would recommend we move each of these groups and make them separate issues in jupyterbook-latex as that is where we plan to solve many of these issues right?

[AakashGfude]

Sure thing @mmcky. Will investigate them one by one, and put those ones in jupyterbook-latex which can be implemented there. For the ones which might need contextual codes of other repos, we can see if it's much easier to implement it there instead.

You may want to include executablebooks/jupyter-book#1065 :)

Will add it once it is clear if it is a kernel/MIME bundle issue, or latex issue itself.

HI,i would like to put content between the title page and the TOC. I saw it is possible using
'tableofcontents' variable of LaTeX customisation https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/latex.html
I tried to use this variable in a jupyterbook config but it does not do anything. Thanks.

I reply to myself, sorry for the noise, I just had to overrride maketitle with

sphinx:
    config:
        latex_elements:
            maketitle: |
                \newcommand\sphinxbackoftitlepage{some text before table of contents}\sphinxmaketitle
