>> Thanks for the compliment. I must confess that I'm not too familiar with
>> rst. I am using this todo item somewhat as a pretext to get the conversion
>> stuff in, which I need to implement some other stuff. As a result I was
>> less careful with the rst plugin than with the rest of the patch.
>> This being said, as I understand it rst cannot embed raw html in
>> the middle of a paragraph. I just found with more tests that even
>> links are a bit tricky, and won't work if they're not surrounded by
>> whitespace; the problem is that if we add this space, links
>> and preprocessor directives at the beginning of a line will be indented,
>> and this means something to rst. Also, rst complains about "?"
>> being used multiple times when the page contains more than one broken link,
>> apparently it uses it as a name for the reference as well as the link text.
>> The idea behind _link and other "intermediate
>> forms" was also that, when we can use rst's ability to target other output
>> formats, raw html won't be included in this process, and that
>> complications will happen with all markup languages if html continues
>> to be used as the language for preprocessor directive output.
>> Of course this could have been postponed until we actually need it,
>> but since we do... :-)
>> I think I will document the limitations, and tune the bugs of the
>> rst plugin code to do the most sensible thing after some more reading
>> of the rst docs. Expect an updated patch in the next few days, and feel
>> free to ask for other adjustments in the meantime.
>> Beyond being buggy in the least horrible way, I'm afraid I won't have
>> much time for ikiwiki in the next two or three weeks (exams),
>> but I think that ultimately these limitations could be worked around.
>> I'm not sure it is desirable for ikiwiki to know too much about the
>> syntax of its markup languages. Maybe the tricky "format" stuff
>> the toc plugin does could be used; maybe we need to think about more
>> generic ways to put "marks" in the various types of pages, which could
>> be expanded afer htmlization, and maybe the convert stuff could be used
>> to do this in an elegant way;
>> but then this is not very [[multiple_output_formats]] friendly either.
>> What do you think?
