SRW at a glance
SRW
Convert to SRW when preserving Samsung-origin raw captures or maintaining compatibility with a Samsung camera archive.
It is mainly an archival and editing format rather than a modern delivery target.
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.
