This depends on whether you have selected "manual" or "howto" in your project's
``conf.py``-file. Asure you have two lines like::

latex_documents = [
('index', 'output-name.tex', u'project name',
u'author name', 'manual'),
]

References to project name and version are inserted automatically when you
choose ``manual`` as latex output format.

See above.

Can you post a quick example please?

Hi Bernard,

Thank you, I figured most of it out. I decided to keep it as "Chapters" and the other parts were in the templates I found.

So also I did a horrible python thing to remove those auto-footnotes before processing make all-pdf:

regex = re.compile(r"\{(.+)\}\\footnote\{\1\}")
for s in input:
output.write (re.sub(regex, r'{\1}', s))

Cheers
