The Project Gutenberg RST Manual

About the author
Marcello Perathoner is a technical writer and developer whose name is closely tied to Project Gutenberg. Project Gutenberg lists him as an author, including The Project Gutenberg RST Manual, a guide to the formatting and production side of creating ebooks.
Reliable project pages also show his work in academic digital humanities. The Cologne-based Capitularia project describes him as a long-serving technical team member at the Cologne Center for eHumanities, where he supported the project website and developed tools for features such as collation and content visualization.
His public profiles suggest a career built around the infrastructure of digital texts rather than literary celebrity: documentation, software, and the systems that help books and historical materials reach readers. That makes him an especially interesting figure for readers curious about how digital libraries are built behind the scenes.
