No way to hide TOC with narrow windows! No way to hide TOC even with Sphinx 6.0.0 (in development)...

I consider Sphinx as the best documentation tool to craft professional documentation and books. If you have an Sphinx project and miss quick online reStrucutedText and Sphinx editor with preview, you should give https://snippets.documatt.com a try.

Top tools for a Technical Writer

When you are working with content on a daily basis, probably you already have a list of your favorite apps, tools, and services that allow you to work faster with texts and documentation. That's great! But chances are that this list is not perfect. "Fast" is not always equals "efficient". Sometimes, when you urgently need a new tool for a specific purpose, you just type your search request and then choose the "most relevant" app from the top of the search results. Regardless of its usefulness, this app tends to stay in the favorites forever. As practice shows, this is rather an inefficient method. This was my case previously. But now, I'm always trying to take some time to compare my new apps with some alternatives and find out whether my choice is the best one. Kind of trials and errors. This is, actually, the way how this list appeared. So, let me share my thoughts on what apps, tools, and services a seasoned Technical Writer must use. Or at least try.

What is Sphinx?

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

It was originally created for the Python documentation, and it has excellent facilities for the documentation of Python projects, but C/C++ is already supported as well, and it is planned to add special support for other languages as well.
