Hi all -

We're working on getting the users manual fully migrated to Sphinx, so we can delete the pure-LaTeX version.

So far, we've done most of the groundwork to set things up using Sphinx and ReadTheDocs, and to do some semi-automated conversion of the manual. Most people will access the manual via docs.petsc.org <http://docs.petsc.org/>, but Sphinx also allows you to build a PDF (via LaTeX) of the docs, which we'll maintain so as to have something citable.

Most sections of the manual have a big ugly warning asking for volunteers, e.g. here: https://docs.petsc.org/en/latest/manual/mat/ <https://docs.petsc.org/en/latest/manual/mat/> . An expert reading through any of the chapters will certainly find things they can fix or remove as they go through. That said, the main objective for now is simply to provide the existing content in a web-friendly way. The minimal task mostly involves fixing references and tables (use list-table whenever possible).

Probably the best example so far of good formatting is the SNES chapter which Jed has been working on: https://docs.petsc.org/en/latest/manual/snes/ <https://docs.petsc.org/en/latest/manual/snes/>

Regarding Sphinx, tips and useful conventions are being noted here: https://docs.petsc.org/en/latest/developers/documentation/#sphinx-documentat... <https://docs.petsc.org/en/latest/developers/documentation/#sphinx-documentation-guidelines>

(Note that for small docs changes like this, you can go to the ReadTheDocs drop-down in the bottom right and click a link to directly edit on GitLab)
