So far my personal doc system amounts to a patchwork of notes and
cheat sheets in ascii files that I grep when I need to find some piece
of information or other.
I would like to switch to something a little more ambitious where I
would be able to generate my docs in the usual popular formats, namely
pdf, html, ps, txt, and possibly dvi.
In terms of document structure, my needs are very basic:
======================================================================
This is the main title of my document
1. Chapter 1.
1.1 Paragraph 1.
This is a list
1. list item 1
2. list item 2
blurb blurb blurb blurb blurb blurb blurb ..
[snip standard technical report]
I am not concerned about typesetting .. the only requirement is that the
contents of tables and samples should materialize in a non-proportional
font in order to be legible.
My only other requirement is that this "documentation system" should not
require the implementation of complex gui tools. I want to do it in vim
and use command line tools to generate the various formats.
Hi cga,
I asked something similar a couple of months ago and the concensus was
either LaTex or DocBook.
