If someone has spare tokens, perhaps detecting the issues could be delegated to some LLM agent that would try to address them, generating enough feedback to have something to submit back to rst2pdf maintainers. As this is basically a transformation problem (from rst vocabulary to pdf vocabulary), I suspect it won't take much LLM time to discover the main issues. Perhaps even small model like ornith-1.5-9B could be enough to deal with it. Thanks, Mauro
