Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-2967: ---------------------------------- [~ewencp] Cool, can we see what the output would look like for whatever proposed change before making a decision? Like I said I don't particularly care about the markup and I'm actually not attached to keeping the current approach but I care a lot about what the output is and how it integrates into the rest of the site. > Move Kafka documentation to ReStructuredText > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2967 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2967 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Gwen Shapira > > Storing documentation as HTML is kind of BS :) > * Formatting is a pain, and making it look good is even worse > * Its just HTML, can't generate PDFs > * Reading and editting is painful > * Validating changes is hard because our formatting relies on all kinds of > Apache Server features. > I suggest: > * Move to RST > * Generate HTML and PDF during build using Sphinx plugin for Gradle. > Lots of Apache projects are doing this. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
