+Notes:

+- For `odt` output, you must have `zip` in the path. If you
+ don't have it installed, you can get the free [Info-ZIP].
+
+- For `pdf` output, you must have `pdflatex` and `bibtex` in the
+ path. You should also have the following LaTeX packages installed:
+ `unicode`, `fancyhdr` (if you have verbatim text in footnotes),
+ `graphicx` (if you use images), `array` (if you use tables), and
+ `ulem` (if you use strikeout text). If they are not already included
+ in your LaTeX distribution, you can get them from [CTAN]. A full
+ [TeX Live] or [MacTeX] distribution will have all of these packages.

Note that the `rst` reader only parses a subset of reStructuredText
