Re: How do I convert a word document to reStructured text?
Another hurried answer : I would try to convert to open document first using open office, then use sxw2rest that is mentioned here : http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/links.html#import My 2 cents, Christophe 2008/10/28 Martin Hans [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Currently our product's user manual is written in Word, but we'd like to move all our documentation into Sphinx. Does anybody have an idea how I can do this at least partially automatically? Thanks.

Single-File HTML Builder, Sphinx-Build Output, rst2pdf
I've been acting as something of a Sphinx advocate for a project looking to convert documentation to reStructuredText. A few issues have come up from someone that supports just using one giant reST document (split into separate source files with the include directive). I'm curious if anyone else has spent time on these issues and has suggestions or solutions. 1) I think a split-HTML approach is better, but the person I'm debating with has a preference for a giant single-file HTML build. Does anyone have a working single-file HTML builder or interest in writing one? 2) The person I'm debating with has said that on dumb terminals sphinx-build outputs ANSI where it is not appropriate and thus produces unreadable output. Should I ask him to clarify how he tested this or should I make the suggestion that sphinx-build test its environment before outputting color sequences? (Personally, I like the colors, but this person says that dumb terminals and colorless-ttys are common in his build environment.) 3) What is the status on integrating rst2pdf with Sphinx? Does anyone have any quick instructions or work in progress code for doing rst2pdf builds that I can look at?

As for PDF generation, just generate LaTeX and generate PDF from that (I do it on a PC w/ MikTeX driven by WinEdt - I know nothing about LaTeX, and it works great).

I filed that as a debian bug (#501629 but it looks like #503053 is also similar) and it was marked forwarded (here?) already. it's easy enough to test - just use m-x compile in emacs to run any of the sphinx commandline tools, and notice that they're full of garbage :-) I suggested a few possible fixes. It's definitely a bug (fortunately there's the -N workaround.) It's not a matter of liking color or not, it's a matter of what you get when you don't have it -- _Mark_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sphinx-dev group.

Since I am leaving for Latinoware today I won't be able to try again for a week or so. However, what I got in my previous attempt was a bazillion PDFs, which is not exactly the nicest result. So, this single-file HTML builder should be a good starting point for rst2pdf integration (perhaps just changing calls to the HTML writer to the rst2pdf- provided writer).

Re: Single-File HTML Builder, Sphinx-Build Output, rst2pdf
I had a similar experience w/ MiKTeX on my PC I tried getting reportlab setup (didn't try too hard) , but something was missing / had trouble / didn't work. I installed MiKTeX and had NO idea what packages I needed, fonts to make, etc. etc. So I tried LyX. It seemed to work w/ MiKTeX, but I was helping edit a book written in LaTeX for AW, and LyX had trouble with that (actually, I couldn't send back changes easily)... Which lead me to WinEdt - It fired MiKTeX, and loaded all the missing pieces, builds all the needed fonts - I just watch... It Works for me; I like it. YMMV Yarko. But there's the ticket - whatever works for you.

Just looked at that TeX Live link - will have to check that out (some weekend, or on another PC). Thanks for the link.
