How to use latex_appendices

[Sergio]

I am trying to build a document using Sphinx 0.6.5 and want to
tell Latex that a collection of documents are to be treated as
appendices.

In the config.py file there is a parameter setting that seems to be
what I was looking for.

The root index has a toctree of the form:

.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1

appendices/index

The appendices directory consists of a collection of documents with an
index file
containing:

Appendix
###########

.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
:glob:

*

I am finding the following issues:

1. If I set latex_appendices = ['appendices/*']
it does not work. OK, sphinx does not glob.

2. If I list the documents by hand using
latex_appendices = ['appendices/doc1', 'appendices/doc2']

This works for the listed documents but they appear duplicated,
as a regular
section and as an appendix.

3. When I try to include the index in the list

latex_appendices =['appendices/index', 'appendices/doc1']

The renderer blows up with an error:

Exception occurred:
File "c:\python26\lib\site-packages\Sphinx-0.6.5-py2.6.egg
\sphinx\writers\latex.py", line 1373, in unknown_visit
raise NotImplementedError('Unknown node: ' +
node.__class__.__name__)
NotImplementedError: Unknown node: toctree

Where it tells me that possibly you cannot include a toctree
in the apendix

I could not find much discussion of this feature on line. Any ideas on
how to make Sphinx more appendix friendly when producing LaTeX output?
