I’m looking to start contributing to the CMake docs.

I’m curious what tool the CMake developers use to edit the [reStructuredText](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReStructuredText) files. Most projects use markdown, so there is an abundance of tools to assist in writing markdown. VScode comes pre-built with it.

What is your workflow for contributing to docs? What tool do you use? I’m currently just eyeballing it.
