While on it, one thing that I noticed on several documents is that
they reference other documents by their names. On this conversion,
I avoided replacing that by a :ref:`` tag or a :doc:`` tag. I only
added cross references on two cases:
- a latex file that got converted to ReST and had such
cross-references already;
- one of the document sets that seemed to be using some other
markup language very close to ReST, but with a different
cross-reference markup. So, I just converted it to use
the syntax that Sphinx would recognize.
Anyway, one of the things that occurred to me is that maybe
some scripting work or a ReST extension could do something to parse
"Documentation/foo" as :doc:`Documentation/foo` without needing to
explicitly use any ReST specific tags.
Thanks,
Mauro
