Hi! I'm just doing this HTML2reST-Thing for my forum, and found that a citations with headlines does not work:: Text before the citation Headline ======== Some more quoted text... Some more Text after it... Does not work, because of the Section-Starting Headline! How may I quote such things??? Bye Marcus -- You know that you drink too much coffee when: ...

Correct. The Docutils document model does not support section structure within block quotes. And reStructuredText requires section headings to be flush-left, unindented. > How may I quote such things??? You could use the "rubric" directive, which is OK inside block quotes. Or mark up with **strong emphasis** for a purely cosmetic effect. If it's not a block quote, you might consider using the "admonition" directive. -- David Goodger http://starship.python.net/~goodger For hire: http://starship.python.net/~goodger/cv Docutils: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/ (includes reStructuredText: http://docutils.sf.net/rst.html) |

I want to have an easy way for users of my forum to quote messages: Just hitting a button and getting the quoted message inserted. I don't want to introduce new markup for this!

Thanks for the code contribution. I don't have time to evaluate it properly right now; I hope someone else does. Marcus J.

It helps to give a concrete example!

Hi! >Thanks for the code contribution. I don't have time to evaluate it >properly right now; I hope someone else does. No problem! I think more as a proof of concept about it, as of real usefull code. >Now I understand what you want to do.

This is very easy to do, but I would like to have some markup in the quotes. But this isn't that important at this time! You and the other people working on reST have done a great work. I was very impressed how easy it was to go the way from html to reST. And how hart it is, to do the same for STX! Bye Marcus -- Das LARP-Portal im Internet: LARP-Welt: http://larp-welt.de !fantasy |
