Hi folk, One of my tasks pre-next release is to revamp the documentation I have available. What I'm after here is something of a generic "focus on the content" scenario that can then be turned into other formats, such as PDF and a web layout. What I'm currently looking at is LaTeX but I wanted to appeal to you all for suggestions. Is this probably my best bet or are there other interesting free alternatives out there that I ought to take a look at? I'm asking now before I delve into this and am "in the thick" of LaTeX so to speak. So far it appears easy to use and produces effectively what I'm looking for... something platform and format independent that can be turned into whatever you might want (within reason). TeX's been around a looong time though and newer "better" things may have been invented since then that I'm not aware of. On the other hand, I'm told by some of my colleges here at the university that TeX remains the format an actual technical book publisher would be asking for. Honestly there may be a time when I would want to see about getting a little pocket guide published for it. Who knows. I don't want to kill that as an option though. My primary goal here is to have a book format for my documentation that I can offer on the web, in a PDF or something alongside the actual Py distributions, or whatever! The only other app I've ever heard of that sounded like "competition" for LaTeX was docbook(?). A friend from Red Hat indicated that that's a format they used. Of course I think they're moving away from it....
