I saw it on twitter :)

I never used those. But we should keep them in mind.

This could be a nice addition to ReST. It will also allow to check for 
regressions while making screenshots, because every UI changes will change 
the screenshot too. So by looking at all screenshots from a (hopefully) 
complete documentation, we can actually verify that the rending is fine 
(even for parts nobody looks at).

But I would put this to low priority, featuring ReST migration and rendering 
chain.
This needs a lot of work before it can be used. Of course screenshots always 
take a lot of work, those scripts need to be written, tested and maybe 
adopted for each version. Sound like a lot of work.

Best regards
