Hi, Over the years and as part of my job, most of the documents I've produced have been in difficult, esoteric, GUI-oriented, even proprietary formats. Over the past couple of months I've been trying to shift significant amounts of this to plaintext -- and my eventual tools of choice here are reST, and more recently, sphinx.
A conclusion I've come to is that reST/sphinx can potentially provide a *complete* replacement of things like OpenOffice.org. In other words, I've found them to be ideal for the production non-technical documents. I see reST/sphinx as a friendly plaintext formatting language providing an alternative to TeX and the like (of which I'm not a massive fan). Which brings me to my question: is there no interest in using tools like sphinx in this regard, and if not, why? It seems architecturally odd to me that both reST and sphinx provide many things which will only be of use to code documentation. So a second question: would it make more sense to anyone else out there if the sphinx "python documentation generator" was a rather thinner set of utilities built on top of a generalized formatting suite?
