I use rst2html.py. I believe it's part of the sphinx package. I write a lot of notes to myself, as in NOTES.rst, README.rst, INSTALL.rst, HOWTO.rst, whatever... If I need a pretty printout, I use rst2html.py to make me an HTML page and print it out. Via the browser, of course.
Try 'rst2html.py --help' to see what options you have for generating standalone html pages. There are other 'rst2xxx' but I've never used them. On 02/11/2014 04:26 PM, Dr. Leo wrote:
Hi, I would like to use Sphinx for non-documentation projects. the bare Docutils works reasonabley well. But Sphinx' unique features such as multiple files and TOC generation, directives for graphviz and matplotlib and the Hieroglyph extension to create HGML5 slides - https://github.com/nyergler/hieroglyph - are compelling reasons for me to use Sphinx rather than Docutils. So I guess what I want is an extension or theme that strips off all the documentation related stuff leaving just those Sphinx features reusable in non-documentation contexts. At least, I want to configure/extend/modify Sphinx such that documentation-related elements do not "pollute" the output. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to start. The main reason for this somewhat off-topic request is my need for a tool chain to produce slides from simple plain text files. It looks as though this might be the best way for the visually impaired to produce high quality slides - ppt is virtually untractable with assistive technology. Latex/Beamer might be an option, but it's just so clumpsy to write. Any hint, in particular on whether it would be worthwhile to start from Sphinx rather than Docutils would be very much appreciated.
