Lots of reasons: easier installation, I happen to know it really well since we wrote C++TMP in it, more sensible parsing rules, I have complete and working emacs syntax coloring (makes a huge difference), shorter toolchain, a great path to PDFs (please don't say "FOP").
Are all of these things already available in boost somewhere?
I don't understand what you mean. What things?
You answered this pretty well below, but what about the emacs mode for rst? Is that available somewhere?
That's the path. 'Till now I've used a Makefile for that purpose, but only because I haven't had the time to set up BBv2 to generate pdfs; it would probaby be easy. See
http://boost.org/libs/iterator/doc/GNUmakefile
for a hint ;-)
Thanks. I'll take a look.
I just found docutils.jam, but I'm not sure whether I have to do anything special to make sure that the docutils scripts are found.
If your docutils is installed (e.g. in your Python's site-packages), it's just
using docutils ;
but I think I only ever wrote RST->HTML support in docutils.jam.
Yes, I did see that only RST->HTML was implemented. But that's way better than nothing. Thank you very much. Deane
