Additionally we have a couple of large and complex tables around that ReST simply can't handle. It's less for having nice stuff than having a system that can actually handle it. Also, very likely the document is going to be split in multiple files because it's pretty large right now.

ReST can just not provide that, but LaTeX can. Also, for simple (in terms of layout) documents like this, they are still readable in LaTeX source form.

That's not the way to go for documentation :( Yeah, I saw this and cried too. That said, if the person maintaing the docs wants to use it, then they're maintaining the docs, and that's better than anything i can offer... cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk ___ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
