A year ago I considered converting a book (on x86-64 assembly language) I had written in LaTeX to Sphinx, but it proved to be unreasonable. I ended up selling it in pdf and paperback formats on Lulu.com.
Now I'm starting a new book and am looking at Sphinx. It will be about assembly language on the Raspberry Pi. I want to make it available online (html), as an ebook (epub), and in print. There are lots of code listings, some simple equations, and vector graphics. From my experiences a year ago, Sphinx should work fairly well for all this. I realize that they typography will not be as pretty as I could do in LaTeX, but I think that html and epub will make it more accessible. Questions: 1. Since I don't have legacy code, should I use Python 3 or 2? 2. I plan to do this on Ubuntu 12.10. The current version in the Ubuntu repositories is 1.1.3. Would it be better for me to install Sphinx directly so I can get the latest version (which seems to be 1.2b1)? 2a. I'm also running Windows 8. I generally prefer Ubuntu for command line work and development, but is Windows a better environment for Sphinx? 3. Any comments about using Sphinx compared to DocBook? 4. Any comments about using Sphinx compared to PanDoc? 5. Other suggestions? --Bob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-users" group.
