Project Infrastructure

docutils-update is a script that is installed as a cron job on BerliOS.de to automatically update the Docutils web site whenever the SVN files change. Any .html document with a corresponding .txt file is regenerated whenever the .txt file changes.

Documenting Python

Some work has been done on enabling Docutils to write the "Documenting Python" variant of LaTeX, which we're calling "DocPy".

• Edward Loper's sandbox. The example "asyncore.rst" file was originally adapted by Steve Holden and Bill Sconce.
• Dave Kuhlman's sandbox and his homepage.
• docpy-writer was used for ctypes documentation.

Since Python 2.6, the markup used for the official Python documentation is reStructuredText, amended by custom directives. The Sphinx toolset is used to generate the HTML and LaTeX versions.
