Markdown vs Restructured Text

Markdown

Emacs has good support for markdown: - folding - create tables

It is easier to document in markdown - less verbose.

Hugo: - Seems really easy to work with - Nice support for taxonomies i.e. tags, categories, etc - I don’t have to deal with the built output - very convenient for writing local documentation

Restructured Text

Emacs support not as good as with markdown.

Seems like this is for technical documentation.

I miss the markdown setup at times and might consider moving back.

Sphinx: - Search functionality out of the box
