[OSGeo-Discuss] Help authoring tools

[Dan Putler]

Hi Dan,

PAGC has its documentation written in text files with markdown markup, 
which is then converted into various formats (html and PDF via LaTeX in 
particular) using pandoc: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/

I know gdal uses restructured text in a similar way.
