That's irrelevant, because random people don't wander in off the
street and write Python documentation.  The question is not "what
format do most people know?", in which case the answer is almost
certainly plain ASCII or Microsoft Word, not DocBook or LaTeX.  The
question is "what format do the people who actually write
documentation like?"  And so far that's LaTeX.
