Heading/cells positioning problem and cell output wrapping

When converting a notebook to latex I've noticed two issues comparing the notebook with the pdf created by latex. The dvi opened with okular has the same layout but the cells show a black background instead of the light gray of the pdf. I'm on Kubuntu 12.10, ipython 0.13.1, nbconvert from today's master. I see the same using latex and pdflatex.

The problems:

1. Heading 4 are converted to paragraphs and are all out of place with respect to the cells where they should be. It seems that markdown cells are where they have to be.
2. the output of the cells is within verbatim, thus long lines go out of the boundaries. This tex.stackexchange suggests spverbatim or listings as possible substitutes. If any of the two comes with (most) of latex distribution might be worth thinking about using it

ps: I hope that it is possible to get the dvi.

Hi @montefra, the latex templates and nbconvert have been completely re-worked since the merge into IPython master. I just tested running latex on the output of ipython nbconvert notebook.ipynb --to latex and I was able to get a working .dvi file that renders almost the same as the pdf output from pdflatex. If you can verify that you still have a problem, please tell me and I will re-open the issue.
