Product Decisions This Supports

Build vs Buy: Eliminates the need to build a custom RST-to-HTML renderer from scratch, saving 3-6 months of development effort for documentation workflows. Ideal for teams already using PHP/Symfony where integrating a lightweight CLI tool aligns with existing infrastructure.
Use Cases: Automating static documentation generation for internal tools, open-source projects, or product guides written in reStructuredText (RST). Fits scenarios where documentation is versioned alongside code and needs to be rendered during CI/CD pipelines (e.g., generating HTML from RST source files for deployment).
Roadmap Alignment: Enables "documentation as code" practices by integrating with CI/CD to auto-update docs on code changes, reducing manual maintenance and ensuring consistency between code and documentation.

When to Consider This Package

Adopt if: Your team uses PHP 8.1+, writes documentation in RST, and needs a simple CLI tool for rendering static HTML without complex hosting requirements. Ideal for internal projects where full documentation platforms (e.g., ReadTheDocs) are overkill, or when already leveraging phpDocumentor for API docs and needing complementary guide rendering.
Look elsewhere if: You require hosted solutions with search, versioning, or collaboration features; use non-PHP stacks (e.g., Python/Sphinx); or need enterprise-grade reliability (e.g., high-dependency projects with active community support). The package’s 0 dependents and low GitHub stars indicate limited real-world validation—prioritize only for low-risk internal use cases.
