Currently the documentation makes it sound like Sphinx is restricted for CPython documentation which is misleading as it is not.

I also propose a more formal title, which is more consistent with about.rst as documentation is preferred over documents.

Finally a small change, writer is replaced by author which again is also more consistent with the documentation overall as people are elsewhere referred to as "authors".

The page is linked as About the Documentation in the index.

Notably, we distribute the documentation in several different formats, which have different notions of a 'document', so changing to use 'documentation' as a generic term here seems fine.

Oh, I actually understood the document as being the input and not the output (we process a document to produce something out of it). But I like your suggested formulation (it's good to say that it's externally managed).
