5 Embedded URIs don't work as advertised - ID: 1764037

Last Update: Comment added ( charlie_x )

Details:

Hi,

can't find this in any of the submissions. I really like ReST and use it on
a website in preference to HTML. However, handling URLs can be a problem as
people usually want to work with anonymous URLs such as <a
href="someurl.com">click here</a>

While explicit use of anonymous targets works fine, embedded URLs do not.
According to the documentation the following should work:

`RFC 2396 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt>`__ and `RFC
2732 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt>`__ together
define the syntax of URIs.

It does not work. Instead it raises the following error:

Inline interpreted text or phrase reference start-string without
end-string.

I can't why the parser is raising this error.
` is the start string
and
`__ in the end string so this should be complete

Please reopen this bug at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=38414&atid=422030 , and include the input file and the exact output. Attach files to the bug please (do NOT copy & paste into the description). Thanks.
Date: 2007-07-30 22:02 Sender: charlie_x I did install docutils for this behind Zope. Although it does seem that Zope comes with an older version. I've deleted that and installed the most reecent snapshot: mail:/usr/lib/zope2.9/lib/python# python Python 2.4.4 (#2, Apr 5 2007, 20:11:18) [GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import docutils >>> docutils.__version__ '0.5' I suspect the problem is related to versions but it does look like I'm running the most recent. Any way I can check from within a ReST document?
Date: 2007-07-30 21:41 Sender: goodger This old project (structuredtext.sf.net) is closed; all development is being done at docutils.sf.net. Your example works fine for me. I suspect you're using very old software. Please update from http://docutils.sf.net & try again.
