I know I'm an odd duck; but no. They're _less_ accessible for me, as both a reader and author. They look 'funny' when read as a text file (the only way it makes sense to read them; I spend 99% of my time on a computer looking at monospace text interfaces; mutt, vim and console, in that approximate order). When writing, I now have to be bothered about this format crap over just trying to write a coherent document. Look at crap like this: "The memory allocations via :c:func:`kmalloc`, :c:func:`vmalloc`, :c:func:`kmem_cache_alloc` and" That should've been written like: "The memory allocations via kmalloc(), vmalloc(), kmem_cache_alloc() and" Heck, that paragraph isn't even properly flowed. Then there's the endless stuck ':' key, and the mysterious "''" because \" isn't a character, oh wait.
