I am aware of that. Switching to the Sphinx input format instead of the Texinfo format could conceivably have an advantage: it would not need to be read directly by TeX. But tat change would be substantial work. In order for Sphinx input format to serve this purpose, it would beed to be extended to handle all the different markup semantics that Texinfo handles. The syntax of these to-be-defined constructs in Sphinx would not look like the Texinfo constructs. The whole point is that they would NOT look the same! But they have to be able to specify the same kinds of distinctions. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
