Exception when combining figure with .. only:: directive

[shimizukawa]

Hi there,

I have asked this question on stackoverflow but as requested in the exception also wanted to report this here.

I am trying to use the numfig extension while generating both HTML and PDF documentation and so far this has worked great.

Now, I would like to use PDF figures in the latex version and PNG figures in the html version. I tried to use the .. only:: directive as follows

#!python

.. _import-dmmetamodel:

.. only:: html

   .. figure:: _static/dataext/DM-Example.png

      My caption for the figure.

.. only:: latex

   .. figure:: _static/dataext/DM-Example.pdf

      My caption for the figure.

I get this error message:

#!

Exception occurred:
  File "/MyPath/Documentation/sphinxext/numfig.py", line 76, in doctree_resolved
    target_doc = app.builder.env.figid_docname_map[target]
KeyError: u'import-dmmetamodel'

I am not sure whether this is a bug or user error. Could you please let me know? Thank you.

Thanks for the report. You have a "numfig" extension installed. Where does this extension come from? It seems that its author would need to check that it handles "only" directives correctly.

Ah OK, great. Thank you. Yes, numfig (see here) is an extension that makes it possible to reference figures by number. I will check with them directly.

In this case, you can use * for images extension. Then the builder chooses an appropriate filetype automatically. So only directive is not needed for this case.

   .. figure:: _static/dataext/DM-Example.*

      My caption for the figure.

Closing.
