Docutils

What is Docutils?

Docutils is a comprehensive text processing system that enables the conversion of plaintext documentation into a variety of useful formats, including HTML, LaTeX, man-pages, open-document, and XML. At the core of this system is the reStructuredText markup language, which provides a straightforward and intuitive way to create and format text-based content. Docutils is an open-source project that offers a suite of conversion tools, allowing users to seamlessly transform their reStructuredText files into targeted output formats. These tools include rst2html for generating HTML, rst2xml for creating XML, rst2latex for producing LaTeX, rst2odt for converting to ODF Text documents, rst2s5 for creating S5 slide shows, and rst2man for converting to man pages
