Pandoc is a converter while rst is a format so they're not directly
comparable; pandoc can convert _to_ and _from_ rst to a wide variety
of other formats, but you still have to write documentation in one
format or another. If you want to use an rst-centric documentation
tool, you can write in, e.g., Markdown, convert to rst and then run
your other tool on it.
