11 Project Gutenberg (PG) is a volunteer effort to digitize and make available
12 to everybody books whose copyright has expired. We OCR the books *and*
13 proofread them and make them available in a variety of formats.
15 PG has been evaluating RST as a master format to generate HTML, EPUB, Kindle,
16 PDF and plain text formats.
18 In that course I have written some patches to RST. I now want to discuss
19 them and maybe improve my ways. If you see fit, my patches could be
20 added to the RST core.
22 It's nice to see this two lovely projects playing together :)
