[asterisk-dev] Docs converted to TeX?

[Derek Smithies]

Hi,
 Tex - latex  is a very very widely available typesetting languages. It 
comes on every distro.

It has been in use for decades. Solid and reliable.

It generates professional documents. publication ready.

tex output can be directed to ps, pdf, html with ease.

tex source documents are very very small, and can be edited with any text 
editor. 
Many editors (emacs for example) already have tex bindings, and cope well 
with tex..

with the tex language, we can generate html docs that have indexes, search 
widgets etc. Far more readable&usable than plain text.

Derek.
