Maintaining websites or project documentation in HTML is a pain.
rest2web takes out the pain, and brings back the joy.
rest2web is a simple tool that lets you build your website from a single
template (or as many as you want), and keep the contents in ReStructured Text .
(You can still keep pages in HTML if needed.)
It can also aid in having multiple translations of your site (i18n)
and a host of other features.
Below is an index to all the rest2web documentation, but for more information
check out the introduction.
Alternatively, browse the following websites. They are all built with rest2web
and show the range of different styles it is capable of creating :
