holy crap, this looks really good visually!

Got the itch to play around with GnuCash’s documentation tooling, file format, etc. 
I’m an AsciiDoc fan, but like the docs I read on ReadTheDocs.org 
<http://readthedocs.org/>, which uses reStructuredText.

So, got out ‘pandoc’ to convert the T&C Guide (English only) from DocBook  to 
RST, did a little scripting and here is the result:

https://gnucash-docs-rst.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html 
<https://gnucash-docs-rst.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html>

I’d say it’s appearance is a bit improved over the existing online docs.. :-)

I haven’t examined every chapter in detail, but I think this is pretty good for 
a first attempt at the conversion, which is 99% automated. The only thing done 
by hand is the intro page, which is ch_oview.rst with some markup for the table 
of contents. Speaking of which, the TOC for the Appendices isn’t done 
correctly, but should be straightforward to fix. I’m not 100% sure all the 
table formatting is correct.

One nice thing about using ReadTheDocs is that the book looks good on mobile. 
Give it a try.

Also, ReadTheDocs automatically generates PDF and EPUB versions. Click on the 
down arrow at the bottom near “v: latest” to pop up a menu to download these 
formats. They look pretty decent.

Comments welcome.
