Hello! I'm considering which markup to use for our open-source project to write user's manuals as well as for general writing (study notes etc.)
I've played with AsciiDoc for a few days and I like its HTML output as
well as PDF generated via dblatex.
However, having the need to use different symbols like planet's signs
etc. I had some problems finding Unicode fonts having all the required
glyphs and wondered how to easily use 'standard' Unicode font for normal
text and then switch to the specific font containing all the required
glyphs for rendering planet symbols.
In AsciiDoc I use something like:
:sun: ☉
:moon: ☽ etc. which are then used as {sun} in the text.
Now I wonder if reST/sphinx provides some simpler method of using
specific font for rendering planet's symbols and the regular font for
the rest?
I mean simpler than the need to fiddle with XSL stylesheets to configure
Docbook toolchain (dblatex) to render stuff as desired?
Let me say that we are on Linux platform and mostly care for HTML/PDF
outputs.
Sincerely,
Gour
