Frequently Asked Questions

reStructuredText (RST) is the standard documentation format for Python projects and Sphinx documentation. Converting to EPUB lets you read Python documentation offline on e-readers or create distributable ebook versions of your docs.

Section headers, emphasis (*italic* **bold**), bullet and numbered lists, code blocks, tables, links, footnotes, admonitions, and directives. Most Sphinx-specific directives are handled gracefully.

Yes. While this tool processes individual RST files, it handles standard Sphinx constructs. For multi-file Sphinx projects, convert the main file or combine files first. Cross-references to other files become placeholder links.

Code blocks (.. code-block:: python) convert to monospace text in the ebook. Language hints are preserved as metadata. Syntax highlighting depends on the e-reader's capabilities.

Yes. Pandoc generates a navigable table of contents from RST section headers. Your document structure translates to ebook chapter navigation automatically.

Both simple and grid tables convert to proper ebook tables. Complex tables with merged cells may need simplification, but standard data tables work perfectly.

Admonitions (.. note::, .. warning::, .. tip::) convert to styled blocks in the ebook. They're visually distinct from regular paragraphs, maintaining their semantic meaning.

Use the metadata fields below or include docinfo fields in your RST: :Author:, :Date:, :Version:. These become EPUB metadata shown in e-reader libraries.

Read the Docs uses Sphinx with RST. Export or copy the RST source files from your repository and convert them here. The result is a portable ebook version of your documentation.

Completely private. All processing happens in your browser using WebAssembly. Your internal documentation, API specs, and project docs never leave your device.
