How do I view the "pretty" version of README.rst?

[Will_20241202]

It seems like most or all of the sample code contains README.rst files as their documentation.  What is the preferred/suggested way to view these in rendered (i.e. not raw markup text) form?  I've tried Firefox, Microsoft Edge, VS Code, etc. and they all show the raw markup text instead of what I assume should be nicely formatted pages.

Hi

You can try some of the restructured text extensions and see if you prefer that view.

Yeah, I looked at one .... the reviews were not good. The whole thing seemed like it was too much effort to put into this level of text viewing. The whole thing seems geared to a web site engines and encodings. There is probably a reasonable answer to this level of effort put into the documents, but it would be nice if they would add a compiled pdf or some kind of easily readable text version for people who work mostly from the command line.
Maybe I am just too old.
