LaTeX: sphinxVerbatim without hllines

[mgeier]

Problem

I'm not sure if this is really a problem, probably I'm just using it wrong ...

Procedure to reproduce the problem

If I'm using this in a .rst file:

.. raw:: latex

   \begin{sphinxVerbatim}
   abc
   \end{sphinxVerbatim}

Error logs / results

I'm getting this when running pdflatex:

! Undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \sphinx@verbatim@checkifhl 
                                           
l.107 abc

Expected results

no error, PDF with "abc" formatted as code.

If I'm using this:

.. raw:: latex

   \fvset{hllines={, ,}}%
   \begin{sphinxVerbatim}
   abc
   \end{sphinxVerbatim}

... everything works fine!

Environment info

Sorry, indeed since 1.6.6 the Sphinx LaTeX writer always sets up hllines key to (perhaps) emphasize lines in literal blocks, and this means naked usage of sphinxVerbatim environment by third party got broken. I have reimplemented it to re-establish such naked usage and will merge to 1.8 soon.

Your workaround is needed for Sphinx 1.6.6 and later, and becomes unneeded but will cause no harm with (to be released) 1.8.3 and later.

Thanks a lot @jfbu!
