One of my pet projects is to combine my love of historical cooking and my love of open source by leveraging open source documentation tools to produce polished, web-based versions of 18th-century cookbooks. When I am done, these books will be fully searchable and have hyperlinked tables of contents and indexes. To accomplish this, I have turned to the Sphinx documentation builder, which provides me with a simple way to create, organize, and build functional HTML books with little effort, and as an added bonus, use Sphinx to create PDF and EPUB versions just as easily.
