RST Viewer Online: Read reStructuredText in .NET

RST is reStructuredText, a plain text markup used for software documentation, README files and technical manuals. Opened in a text editor it shows directives, underlined headings and strict indentation instead of formatted prose, and the intended layout only appears after a documentation generator has processed the source.

GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud renders the file directly as HTML, PDF, PNG or JPG, with no build step and no toolchain to install. HTML is the usual choice for a preview inside a portal, PDF produces a copy that can be circulated for review, and the image outputs supply thumbnails.

Inside a .NET application the SDK issues the render call and returns the pages, which is enough to show documentation sources in an internal tool alongside more than 180 other formats. Page navigation and zoom come with the rendered output, the free online RST viewer answers a single question with no code at all, and a free trial is available.
