sphinx-maven-plugin is a Maven site plugin that uses
Sphinx to generate a project web site or documentation.
Sphinx itself was originally created by the Python community for the new Python documentation. It uses a plaintext format called reStructured Text which it then compiles into a variety of documentation formats such as HTML, LaTeX (for PDF) and ePub. reStructured Text is similar to Markdown but - at least via Sphinx - has better support for multi-page documentation.
