Hello everyone,
I'm sorry for off-topic, but let me announce to this forum I've just finished my web app called Snippets at https://snippets.documatt.com - an online reStructuredText and Sphinx editor with syntax highlight, preview and (soon) sharing and embedding. Unlike others, it is based on Sphinx, not Docutils only, and allows try full-fledge Sphinx without installing it.

I will be happy for any feedback and ideas - here or privately at my email ma...@documatt.com.

Matt

PS: Documatt because I'm Matt writing documentation :-)

Hello,

Is the code used to run the website open source, and available someplace like GitHub? I want to create a command line tool that generates good looking HTML from an RST (better than what docutils does through rst2html), using the Sphinx module. Sphinx's documentation is ironically kind of crappy, so I haven't tried to bedrock-dig to get it working.

If you have done this work, and feel comfortable sharing some code hints and breadcrumbs, that would be excellent!

Not nearly as good, often worse than rst2html.

Hi Tanim,
I'm planning open-sourcing it soon (in a month)! Actually, I also want to add the CLI interface in addition of already existing REST API. I'm sure I can help you too. Drop me a line do my private email.

However, if you want primary "good looking" HTML, it should be "only" a matter of CSS styling, right?
