this is a trend. reST and sphinx are also the primary tools we'll be using for a 2nd edition of Python Web Development with Django when the time becomes appropriate.
interestingly enough, i've got a talk which covers the use of open source tools in writing books with coming up at PyCon. i'd love to have your input, feedback, and participation if you're coming to Atlanta next month: http://us.pycon.org/2010/conference/talks (scroll down to #40) this is reprisal of a similar talk i gave at OSCON last year but with more of a Python focus: http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2009/public/schedule/detail/8038 contact me off-list if you'd like me to discuss your use of open source tools with book creation. cheers, -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 "Python Fundamentals", Prentice Hall, (c)2009 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com On Sat, Jan 16, 2010 at 3:01 PM, will <[email protected]> wrote: > I can't remember if I mentioned it on the list or not, but in December, I > finished a novel-ish book using restructuredText and Sphinx.
