erhm, once solved and building in parallel ''discussion'' on if that
should happen could begin. Personally I am not in favour of throwing away
all the strongly marked up work we have done in the description.html files
in favour of the rather erratic and obscure markup of reSt for those
pages. Perhaps 'finicky' is a better word. I'm happy to see the help pages
get pretty, and yes reSt+sphinx-alikes is very pretty, but would like it
to be in parallel, and reSt translated from our existing HTML docs
automatically (ie the description.html parts), in the same way (or better)
than the man pages are now.
I don't think lack of a working htDig install*, or reliance on "site:"
google search, is a fatal blow for html.
[*] (is that still the case? if so as offered earlier, I'm happy to spend
a little time on it)
thanks,
Hamish
