ReStructuredText meets ODT: almost heaven

Wed, 2009-04-15 13:20

I have long used reStructuredText (reST) for writing simple documents that I might later want to turn into something formatted: Committee minutes, project TODO files, memos, etc. I also use reST when contributing documentation to projects such as Bazaar, NumPy and SciPy, since it is a commonly used format for Python-related documentation. I've recently come to see it as an ideal format for writing longer documents that will eventually be formatted, but where I don't want to worry about formatting initially.
