ReStructuredText (reST)

More information:

{i} MoinMoin contains an (incomplete) bridge to the docutils's parser, you can try this by using "#format rst" as the first line of a wiki page. See RestSample for an example. This of course only works when you use the current CVS version, and when docutils is installed.

Reading reST, Writing HTML

There's surprisingly little on the web and in the documentation about how to read reST, and output HTML.

IanBicking has contributed this code, which reads a source text (in reST), and writes HTML: 

   1 html = docutils.core.publish_string(
   2            source=text,
   3            writer_name='html')
   4 html = html[html.find('<body>')+6:html.find('</body>')].strip()

"It may feel wrong, but it works, and works reliably."
