Textual documentation

[Sbozzolo]

Is it possible to provide the documentation also in plain text or markdown?

There are several reasons why I would prefer text:

• The Jupyter viewer on GitHub often fails to display the content
• It's much easier to search through the documentation with standard command line tools
• I don't need to install Jupyter to see the documentation locally
• I can easily see what changes with time looking at the git diffs
• I can read the documentation with the editor I like, and not with an internet browser

In general, I don't see any benefit in having the documentation in the form of Jupyter notebooks, so I would love to have a more accessible way to read the docs.
