Bug#536185: RFA: python-wordaxe
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Restructured text[0] (a.k.a. reST or rst) is a lightweight markup
language. The rst2pdf[1] utility converts reST directly to PDF
(rather than via LaTeX). rst2pdf can perform hyphenation[2] if
python-wordaxe is installed.
Without python-hyphen and the appropriate .dic file, python-wordaxe's
hyphenation of non-German prose is poor. As my python-hyphen package
wasn't sponsored, I have stopped using both it and python-wordaxe. I
have no real interest in maintaining this package any longer.
