Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering, why markdown is being used for the built-in
documentation as opposed to rst? I guess emergent convention?

Since sphinx is used to build the manual, I would have preferred to have
the same formatting at least as an option. I was able to successfully
reuse inline rst documentation in python projects to build parts of the
manual, saving myself to rewrite good chunks of text.

But I admit I'm partial to rst because of that (I use it everywhere I can).

Is md maybe slightly shorter or has some advantage I don't immediately
see? Easier/faster to parse?
