About this site
================
This site was designed with the help of `Sphinx
`_, originally *"a tool that makes it easy to
create intelligent and beautiful documentation, written by Georg
Brandl"*, and used here a bit beside its original meaning.
Sphinx makes use of `reStructuredText
`_ as markup language.
The mathematical display is done with the help of `MathJax
`_ with `LaTex
`_ markups.
.. topic:: About the use of Sphinx and reStructuredText
**Advantages** of `Sphinx `_ and
`reStructuredText `_ are
* Consistent integration of python docstrings that can be extended
by usefull formatting instructions
* Reasonably good and easy document compilation
* Integration of LaTex
* Various output formats/media are possible (html, pdf, ...)
**Disadvantages** are
* A shallow learning curve
* Sometimes inconsistent usage is necessary to accomplish some
needed html features
**Clonclusion**: Good for programmers, not recommended for anybody else.
Programming is done with `Python `_,
`Matplotlib `_ and `Numpy
`_ .
