RST at a glance
RST
Convert to RST when the content is headed into Sphinx or another documentation system that benefits from directive-rich plain text.
It is well suited to API docs, developer manuals, internal technical references, and documentation that needs cross-references, notes, code blocks, and publish-time transformations.
Use it when documentation semantics are more important than office-style page layout.
NUMBERS at a glance
NUMBERS
Convert to NUMBERS when the recipient is expected to work further in Apple Numbers, especially for schedules, lightweight financial sheets, classroom materials, or visually arranged tables in Mac- and iPad-based workflows.
It is useful when the Apple editing experience matters more than cross-platform ubiquity.
For broad office interoperability, XLSX is usually the safer spreadsheet target.
