Please provide an option to export the docs on A4 paper

Currently, only export in letter format is supported. Please add an option to export the docs in A4 (European) paper format.

Without having looked into it, is there a latex style for A4 that you can set in your configuration?

[softgrow]

There is a latex style for A4, in Julia. In Downloads on http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.4/ there are three links PDF, HTML & Epub. The PDF linked is for US Letter paper. What is needed is a fourth link making it PDF (US Letter), PDF (A4), HTML and Epub. This would then allow users outside North and Central America to have a PDF download for printing using locally available paper.

Okay, well, if you only need the a4 paper output, you can control this with the Sphinx configuration option latex_elements, specifically, latex_elements['papersize'] = 'a4paper' (beware: untested). The larger issue is that we need to make some larger design decisions about an overhaul of the versions and/or downloads project page, and we need a pattern for accumulating these arbitrary files while ensuring we get the files we need out of the build process. All of this is a duplicate of #2045 though, so I will close this here.
