Re: Tabs and <formalgroup> content model

The sphinx-tabs example looks a lot like nested variable lists to me. =
You have a tab (term) and text (listitem) and you can nest them.

Rather than creating new markup, would it make sense to treat tabs as an =
alternative display option?

Currently, the xsl stylesheets support two different display options for =
variablelist: block and table. Maybe tabs should be a third option.
