Sphinx - documentation & Fraqtive - Fractal generator & Pygments & Docutils

Sphinx is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and beautiful documentation for Python projects, written by Georg Brandl and licensed under the BSD license.

It was originally created to translate the new Python documentation, but has now been cleaned up in the hope that it will be useful to many other projects. (Of course, this site is also created from reStructuredText sources using Sphinx!)

Although it is still under constant development, the following features are already present, work fine and can be seen "in action" in the Python docs:

• Output formats: HTML (including Windows HTML Help) and LaTeX, for printable PDF versions
• Extensive cross-references: semantic markup and automatic links for functions, classes, glossary terms and similar pieces of information
• Hierarchical structure: easy definition of a document tree, with automatic links to siblings, parents and children
• Automatic indices: general index as well as a module index
• Code handling: automatic highlighting using the Pygments highlighter
• Extensions: automatic testing of code snippets, inclusion of docstrings from Python modules, and more

Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its strengths come from the power and straightforwardness of reStructuredText and its parsing and translating suite, the Docutils.

Fraqtive is an open source, multi-platform generator of the Mandelbrot family fractals. It uses very fast algorithms supporting SSE2 and multi-core processors. It generates high quality anti-aliased images. It allows real-time navigation and dynamic generation of the Julia fractal preview.

Fraqtive is available for both Windows and Linux under the GNU General Public License.

This is the home of Pygments. It is a generic syntax highlighter for general use in all kinds of software such as forum systems, wikis or other applications that need to prettify source code. Highlights are:

• a wide range of common languages and markup formats is supported
• special attention is paid to details that increase highlighting quality
• support for new languages and formats are added easily; most languages use a simple regex-based lexing mechanism
• a number of output formats is available, among them HTML, RTF, LaTeX and ANSI sequences
• it is usable as a command-line tool and as a library

----------------------------------
Docutils is an open-source text processing system for processing plaintext documentation into useful formats, such as HTML or LaTeX. It includes reStructuredText, the easy to read, easy to use, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup language.
