[issue16893] Generate Idle help from Doc/library/idle.rst

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Through the contributions of several people, Zack's key idea, that Idle documentation should have a single source, idle.rst, has come to fruition. So I think it time to close this. I already mentioned #25198 for improving the tkinter viewer. I also opened #25

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: NEWS entries are done. I added a function, copy_strip, to help.py to rstrip (in bytes mode) idle.html as it copies to help.html. (I changed the name to better remember which is which.) In my .bat file, with Doc as current directory, I use ..\pcbuild\python

Zachary Ware added the comment: I'd be happy to work on making an 'idledoc' target for the Doc/ makefiles that works with Mark's viewer. I can't guarantee any kind of timeframe, but the idledoc target wouldn't be necessary right off the bat; it could be done after the main bulk of the patch i

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Trying to produce .txt from .rst or .html was the original idea but the result in the upload help.txt is not terribly good. We decided that it is reasonable these days to depend on a browser being present and use the webbrowser module to display the html in a
