Billie Rinaldi commented on ACCUMULO-2578:
------------------------------------------

Ideally the documentation format would be near plain text and would be easily converted to both HTML and PDF.

> LaTeX is bulky, it's results are not easily viewed with a text editor, and it's not easy to convert to HTML for display on the project website.
> We should migrate away from LaTeX and find a format that satisfies these things, making it easier to consolidate and organize the available documentation.
> Preferably, the solution to this should not require platform-specific build tools (like pdflatex and LaTeX styles are currently required). Ideally, the solution should be able to build with Java/Maven plugin without any such extra tools (except what Maven downloads as dependencies of the plugin).
