===================================
 Docutils: Documentation Utilities
===================================
---------------------------------------------------------
 Written in Python, for General- and Special-Purpose Use
---------------------------------------------------------

Docutils is an open-source text processing system for processing
plaintext documentation into useful formats, such as HTML or LaTeX.
It includes reStructuredText_, the easy to read, easy to use,
what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup language.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

**To get up & running quickly**, see the Quick-Start_ section of the
README_ file.

All **documentation** can be reached from the `Docutils Project
Documentation Overview`_.

To the developers of an open source project, **feedback** is a great
motivator and is very welcome.  We also rely on feedback for
determining what features to implement.  Thus, if you tell us what you
need, you may just get it!  Please post any feedback to the
Docutils-users_ mailing list.

All **discussion** about Docutils takes place on the `mailing lists`_.

If you find a **bug**, please file a `bug report`_ or send email to
the Docutils-users_ mailing list.  **Patch** submissions should be
filed in the `patch tracker`_ or sent to Docutils-develop_.

We welcome all kinds of **contributions**.  There's a `To Do list`_
full of interesting ideas awaiting a champion.  If you have any
questions regarding how to extend Docutils, please feel free to ask on
the Docutils-develop_ mailing list.  Please also consider **donating**
to Docutils: |donate|.

The only **requirement** for running Docutils is Python_ 2.2 or later.
(Python 2.1 may be used providing the compiler package is installed.
The compiler package can be found in the Tools/ directory of Python's
source distribution.)

Docutils is in active development and should be considered **highly
experimental**.  APIs are subject to change at any time.


Download
========

We recommend that you use the latest **snapshot**,
`<docutils-snapshot.tgz>`_.  The snapshots usually contain *more
features* and *fewer bugs* than the "official" releases |---| they're
not only for developers!

The latest **release package** is `docutils-0.3.9.tgz`__.  It has been
released on 2005-05-26 and is mostly intended for distributors.  See
the `announcement posting`_ for a list of changes since the previous
release (0.3.7).

More snapshots:

- `Snapshot of the Sandbox`_ (experimental, contributed code; see the
  Sandbox_ for details)
- `Snapshot of DocFactory project files`_ (this is a subset of the
  Sandbox snapshot above; you don't need both)

You can also access `Docutils' Subversion repository`_ directly.
