No, ApiXmlDocReader is not used by anything in the codebase. (not to be confused with ApiXmlDocWrite which is used by apidocs and marvin cloudstackAPI generators).

The reason I ask is because I know Pierre-Luc spends a lot of time every release manually changing the formatting from what is [3] output to RST format so it can be displayed. I have already built a parser to generate the 'fixed issues' piece [5] of the release notes (will be open sourced soon). If PL is the only person using this class I will either: a) Modify the class to output the details in an RST format so the output can be directly pasted into the release notes. b) Modify the class to output structured JSON so the data can be easily consumed by parsers. I would then write a small script to parse the JSON and output the RST format for the RN. I would lean towards b) so the Java code would not have to be modified if we changed the format of the docs to another format (like Markdown for example). Worst case scenario, I will just write a parser that takes that meh layout and output a RST table for the RNs.
