Good questions for Stack Overflow would be:

  • “What is the best way to structure the table of contents across a project?”
  • “How do I structure translations inside of my project for easiest contribution from users?”
  • “How do I use Sphinx to use SVG images in HTML output but PNG in PDF output?”
