Hi all,

Currently the Ceph upstream documentation is mostly written in
restructuredtext, and built into HTML with Sphinx.

We at Red Hat have some writer colleagues who are more comfortable
with asciidoc, and it has been suggested that we could get more new
content upstream (i.e. on github for everyone) if we were using
asciidoc.

So does anyone have any strong attachment to the restructuredtext
format currently in use?

(Opinions especially valued from people/groups who are active
contributors to the docs)

Took a quick look at how an asciidoc file looks like and, with hard-wrapping the lines, it looks just as readable as rst - give or take a few formatting specificities that could be argued as a trade-off between readability and flexibility.

Personally, I'm not attached to any given format; as long as it's readable on a terminal without having to compile the sources - and it's not latex (being great notwithstanding, seems overkill.)
