Can we not have two versions? I don't have Sphinx installed (used to format
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/index.html) but converted 
speakup.rst to
html5 using rst2html5.py and indeed the output is way better looking and 
easier
to navigate than the txt version.

And anyway can we just provide a link to the web page that will be built
from the rst file? I think it should be accessible in graphical web 
browsers as
in console ones (I tried using links, lynx and w3m).

As an aside the document still states:
Speakup does NOT support usb connections!

Is it still true? PS I widely prefer the asciidoc/asciidoctor format 
than rst,
but the choice has been done for the Linux Kernel documentation, I know...
