I know the idea of using Sphinx for documentation is being kicked
around, so I figured I'd offer some additional pointers to resources:
Sphinx's own tutorial:
http://sphinx.pocoo.org/tutorial.html
The RTFD (hosting site for Sphinx docs) getting started guide:
http://readthedocs.org/docs/read-the-docs/en/latest/getting_started.html
The ReStructured Text primer from the Python docs*:
http://docs.python.org/documenting/rest.html
And the Sphinx specific additions (many of these are from Sphinx itself,
a few are CPython specific additions):
http://docs.python.org/documenting/markup.html
*As mentioned on the site, the Sphinx project actually started when
Georg wrote it to replace the dodgy old LaTex-based toolchain. The
contrast between http://www.docs.python.org/2.5 and
http://www.docs.python.org/2.6 is stark enough, but the difference is
even greater when you compare the
readability of the documentation files themselves:
Sphinx: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/Doc/whatsnew/2.5.rst
LaTeX: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.5/Doc/whatsnew/whatsnew25.tex
Cheers,
Nick.
