Frankly speaking, reST provides a lot of expressive power if you want it, while still keeping document very readable and no DTDs, schemas, validation, fiddling with catalogs etc. :-D Otoh, number of tags in DocBook is overwhelming and, imgo, way too distracting for most documentation tasks, at least, for *my* use-cases.

Maybe someone with more Elisp skills will hook on reST. :-D Sincerely, Gour =2D-=20 Gour | Zagreb, Croatia | GPG key: C6E7162D =2D--------------------------------------------------------------- --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkmvqSUACgkQlMjHkcbnFi17oACgrZu2zjmkGlbk3Ms70PqYMcD7 1l0AnRRci3Xhm69Dgg4zLBZOE2wMf/KI =1Wfb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=-- --===============0406418405== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
