FWIW I was in favor of reStructuredText to begin with, but decided I'd
rather have any lightweight markup than a bikeshed fest over which
one. Switching is a non-issue to me.
It does seem like the tools available for each markup carry more weight
than the markup itself, as long as there aren't any huge gaps. Sphinx
seems like a reasonable, actively developed choice.
However I didn't think Sphinx could produce docbook, and a quick search
doesn't convince me otherwise. Do you have some links to back this up?
Would the lack of docbook be a showstopper? (Of course, the pandoc
swiss-army knife can handle rst->docbook if needed.)
Sphinx might offer a way to drop docproc through the extension
mechanism, without resorting to the "separate-file approach". It might
be a more sensible approach as a whole.
I'll have a more in-depth look into this.
BR,
Jani.
