#346 reST parser warns twice for short underline

[Takeshi KOMIYA]

reST parser warns twice if the underline for second heading is short.
I think it is a bit verbose.

Input:

$ cat helper.rst
Issue #5214
===========

django_assert_num_queries
========

Output (warnings):

$ rst2html.py helpers.rst > /dev/null
helpers.rst:5: (WARNING/2) Title underline too short.

django_assert_num_queries
========
helpers.rst:5: (WARNING/2) Title underline too short.

django_assert_num_queries
========

It seems the parser does not warn if the short underline appears at first.

Note: originately this was reported to sphinx: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/5214

Thank you for reporting.
This is due to the current setup of the rST parser regarding section level handling.
The issue is solved by a recent patch by Arne Skjærholt [patches:#213] (which still needs to be tested for side-effects).
