A thread on c.l.py ("Python Documentation (should be better?)") got me to
thinking about options for improving/restructuring the online documentation.
That led me to thinking about converting the current docs to reST. A scan
of the last year's worth of list archives didn't yield any obvious
discussion on the topic, but I find it hard to believe the topic hasn't been
discussed in the past. Pointers to past threads cheerfully accepted.
It seems to me that converting to reST has a couple obvious benefits:
* dump latex2html
* better potential HTML generation options (like HTML w/ an integrated
annotation capability)
* possibly enlarge pool of documentation contributors
Fred wrote some Latex->ESIS->SGML tools that look like they might possibly
be redirected to the more-or-less one-time task of converting to reST.
Thoughts?
