As someone who writes quite a bit of non-sphinx Restructured Text, and a lot of Markdown (because I have to), I have zero sympathy for the argument of context switching. I can come up with an overblown analogy, but I will just reduce it to "it's not complicated to keep the two syntaxes straight". _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
