RinohType, a document processor inspired by LaTeX
summary
A document typesetter written in Python 3 that renders reStructuredText and Sphinx to PDF using a template plus CSS-like stylesheets, with a layout engine, OpenType/TrueType support, hyphenation via LibreOffice dictionaries, and cross‑reference hyperlinks. Alpha release lacks equations but includes a preliminary Sphinx builder. Minimal dependencies (docutils, pure‑Python PNG), warning messages point to file line and page, and a 230‑page sample renders in about 70 seconds cold and 40 seconds with cache.
