| The current documentation in LaTeX makes it hard to convert it to anything other than the supported formats (PS,PDF,HTML). To generate all documentation (including .info docs) you'd have to install TeX (plus some conversion tools), Perl and Emacs. How about making the docs in DocBook format? Its a lot of work, but it would help format conversion a lot without installing additional software. Greetings, Bastian | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=357491 But wouldn't DocBook then require having Java installed? Chances are if you wanted to do the conversion you would write a program to do it for you. But at that point you negate the need to have it in DocBook natively since you have the conversion tool. | ||

| For Sphinx: there is an experimental docutils DocBook writer, so I guess the rst could be converted to docbook without too much hassle. But this is not going to happen without someone contributing it, so I'll close this one. |
