Tom Bentley commented on KAFKA-2967:
------------------------------------

{quote}I just took a look at Tom Bentley's proposal, and it seems to just be 
accomplished by annotating the docs with CSS tags; the actual link generation 
is done via a Javascript function, right?{quote}

Yeah, CSS classes are enough for that PR. So I'm persuaded.

> Move Kafka documentation to ReStructuredText

> 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.
