[TYPO3-english] Sphinx, ReStructuredText, Localization and TYPO3

[François Suter]

Hi Kay,

Thanks for being the only one daring to answer ;-)

> 1. rest viewer in TYPO3 backend (for extensions, and eventually in the fe)

Yes, that will be needed. There's already extension "restdoc" by Xavier 
which makes this possible in the FE. It wouldn't work the same, but it's 
definitely a source of inspiration.

> 2. rest support for the syntax highlighter in TYPO3

It's supported by CodeMirror (see 
http://codemirror.net/mode/rst/index.html), so it should not be an issue.

> 3. Dokumentation on how to use it

Yes, that is definitely missing for now. There are bits and pieces, but 
the overview is lacking.

> 4. For the intermediate time a rest ->  sxw converter, so that uploaded
> extensions get their sxw's on demand (even for older installations).

We really don't want to go that way. We would rather focus our (very 
few) resources on finishing the whole process and enabling ReST to be 
used everywhere flawlessly.

> 5. Either online service or any nice documented way to transfer sxw into rst

http://docs.typo3.org/getthedocs/

> 6. VERY Important. - rst support in TER :D

Absolutely. We discussed this again yesterday evening in the Doc Team 
meeting. It should be possible to provide a very simple endpoint that 
the TER could query to know about existence of a manual or not. We have 
to check with the TER/typo3.org team about what they would like to have.

Cheers
