Markdown vs reStructuredText for teaching materials - Back in summer 2017. I wrote an article explaining why we used Sphinx and reStructuredText to produce teaching materials and not a wiki. In addition to recommending Sphinx as the solution to use, it was general praise for generating static HTML files from Markdown or reStructuredText. This summer I made the conversion of teaching materials from reStructuredText to Markdown.
