I added another three lines of code for generating labels for the :name: option. Unfortunately I don't know how to convert the node.get('names') to a proper reference identifier. Therefore I used node.get('ids') which contains the parsed name but also contains identifiers from ordinary labels. This leads to multiple labels when a container gets a label not via :name:. It was the best solution I could find quickly.

#!python

ids = node.get('ids', [])
for Id in ids:
  self.body.append( '\n' + self.hypertarget(Id) )

I salvaged the patch file from bitbucket:

What is the status of this issue? Would be great if the container directive worked for latex (PDF) as well as for HTML output.

I salvaged the patch file again: latexContainer.patch.gz

This expands the container node to \begin{%s} and \end{%} macro. I'm afraid that this breaks PDF build for users who uses container directives suddenly. To apply, or not to apply. That is a question.

@tk0miya - First, do no harm?

[tk0miya]

If applied, you MUST add a LaTeX macro for container classes if you're using. If not, LaTeX failed to build PDF.

I think #9166 provides a solution to this without the problem identified by @tk0miya above.
