So far my personal doc system amounts to a patchwork of notes and cheat sheets in ascii files that I grep when I need to find some piece of information or other.
I would like to switch to something a little more ambitious where I would be able to generate my docs in the usual popular formats, namely pdf, html, ps, txt, and possibly dvi. In terms of document structure, my needs are very basic: ====================================================================== This is the main title of my document 1. Chapter 1. 1.1 Paragraph 1. This is a list 1. list item 1 2. list item 2 blurb blurb blurb blurb blurb blurb blurb .. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | this is a config file sample | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ blurb blurb blurb blurb blurb blurb blurb .. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | this is a table | +---------+-------------------------------+-----------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +---------+-------------------------------+-----------------+ blurb blurb blurb blurb blurb blurb blurb .. 1.2 Paragraph 2 .. ... ====================================================================== And that's it. I am not concerned about typesetting .. the only requirement is that the contents of tables and samples should materialize in a non-proportional font in order to be legible. My only other requirement is that this "documentation system" should not require the implementation of complex gui tools. I want to do it in vim and use command line tools to generate the various formats. Would anyone have any recommendations as to how I should proceed?
