Matthias J. Sax commented on KAFKA-2967:
----------------------------------------
Big +1 for RST from my side.
> Move Kafka documentation to ReStructuredText
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-2967
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2967
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Gwen Shapira
> Assignee: Gwen Shapira
> Priority: Major
>
> Storing documentation as HTML is kind of BS :)
> * Formatting is a pain, and making it look good is even worse
> * Its just HTML, can't generate PDFs
> * Reading and editting is painful
> * Validating changes is hard because our formatting relies on all kinds of
> Apache Server features.
> I suggest:
> * Move to RST
> * Generate HTML and PDF during build using Sphinx plugin for Gradle.
> Lots of Apache projects are doing this.
