Hi,

I currently worked out a specification to make results of DocTools interoperable. This is completely new and the spec is just one day old. The idea of this spec is, that doctools deliver their output in this interoperable format and generating the output can be done by others, that don't want to work on the parsing part.

The benefits would be:

- End users can choose whatever doctool they want and which output generator they want.
- Doctool developers can focus on parsing the code, generate a standardised output and leave the output generation to the end users (doesn't that sound like less work for you?)

My blog post with my motivation for creating this: http://gos.si/blog/docspec-as-interoperable-file-format-between-doctools

As I said the DocSpec is not older than a day, you are invited to join here. Also if you feel like this idea suits your doctool, feel free to jump over to express your interesst in participating as an implementor.

The DocSpec is on github, ready to fork: https://github.com/gossi/docspec

Thank you
