rest2web - The Website Builder
==============================

{emo;html} Maintaining websites or project documentation in {acro;HTML} is a pain.
**rest2web** takes out the pain, and brings back the joy. {sm;:wink:}

**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 <http://docutils.sourceforge.net>`_ [#]_.
(You can still keep pages in HTML if needed.)

It can also aid in having multiple translations of your site ({acro;i18n;Internationalization})
and a *host* of other features. {sm;:-)}

Below is an index to all the rest2web documentation, but for more information
check out the `introduction <introduction.html>`_.

Alternatively, browse the following websites. They are *all* built with **rest2web**
and show the range of different styles it is capable of creating [#]_ :

       a great way of keeping documents in a readable and editable form.
