Is [prest][1] the perl version of the reST processor referred to in the text?
|
||||||
|
It seems to be reasonably well-maintained to me, and differences between it and
|
||||||
|
"standard" reST are pretty minor (a fairly exhaustive list, taken from the
|
||||||
|
prest docs, is at the end of this page).

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In addition, reST appears to allow raw HTML pass-through with the `raw`
|
||||||
|
directive, though I think a better solution would be expanding the format plugin
|
||||||
|
interface. --Ethan

An exhaustive list of differences between prest and "standard" reST follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* fewer alternatives for bullet lists (only "+", "*" and "-")
|
||||||
|
* escaped colons are not allowed in field names
|
||||||
|
* RCS keyword processing is only activated on "recognized bibliographic
|
||||||
|
field names"
|
||||||
|
* multiple consecutive blockquotes seperated by attributions may not be allowed
|
||||||
|
(not sure; text could be interpreted either way)
|
||||||
|
* a warning about auto-symbol footnotes is missing (maybe it's not relevant?)
|
||||||
|
* colons are allowed within hyperlink reference names
|
||||||
|
* inline markup can be nested
|
||||||
|
* some directives are missing (epigraph, highlights, pull quote, date) and
|
||||||
|
some have been added (MathML, code execution (disabled by default), enscript)
|
||||||
|
* container directive now uses "class" instead of "classes"
|
||||||
|
* csv directive doesn't require csv.py
|
||||||
|
* references directive doesn't allow options
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There may be a few others; my eyes glazed over. --Ethan
