[Docutils-users] rst2xaml progress

[Michael Foord <fuzzyman@vo...>]

Hello all,

Just to let you know about the progress of my rst2xaml project:

    http://code.google.com/p/rst2xaml/

It now supports the following docutils markup features:

    * title and headings
    * paragraphs
    * bold
    * italics
    * superscript
    * literal blocks
    * inline literals
    * line blocks
    * bullet lists
    * enumerated lists
    * the pygments code-block directive

Almost enough to be useful. :-)

I've attached a screenshot of a simple rest document rendered to xaml 
and displayed with WPF.

Unfortunately the subset of text formatting supported by Silverlight is 
frankly pathetic, so it means lots more hoops to jump through. The 
pygments xaml formatter already works, and can output xaml that can be 
used in a Silverlight / Moonlight TextBlock. For the other docutils 
features I will have to be a bit more imaginative and stack separately 
formatted TextBlocks inside other components, which is a bit more tricky...

All the best,

Michael

[Jia Colin Zheng <to@jc...>]

What output format do you want?

For HTML, you could do as you said, use rst2html, and adjust CSS to hide the
list item bullet, avoid list indentation, etc.

The better way is to generate XML (rst2xml) and transform it to HTML with XSLT
(If you need, I can send you an XSL file that does the transformation; with
slight modification you can transform section heading to eg <span></span>
instead of <h6>.

[Docutils-users] CJK inline markup problem and patch

[Jia Colin Zheng <to@jc...>]

Hello all,

When reST is written in CJK, inline markup becomes ugly and cumbersome: one
always has to use backslash around the markup text.  In CJK convention,
characters (which are not space separated) should be treated like words in Latin
languages.

Here's a little patch that attempts to make CJK ideographs and symbols (Unicode
range: 2e00 to a4cf, f900 to faff, ff00 to ffef, 20000 to 2ffff) behave like
words.  Works well for me.

If you see any potential problem, please let me know, else I suggest that it be
applied to the next release.

Regards,
Colin

With LaTeX output, you can get the effect
at the "paragraph" section level:

   First bit
   ~~~~~~~~~
   of waffle ...
  
would be written as

   3.4.1 First bit  of waffle ...

Maybe some CSS guru can also suggest a definition to achieve this kind of
formatting.

Right, but my example is perhaps poor - typically the bits of waffle
will be paragraph length, so treating them as headings probably isn't
going to work.

It did occur to me to treat everything, including the section headings,
as items in nested auto-numbered lists - but then the formatting for the
things I want as section heading won't look right.

No but you could try this :

.. section-numbering::

Introduction
------------

First bit of waffle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Second bit of waffle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Docutils-users] numbered sectional paragraphs?

[Paul Rudin <paul@ru...>]

I'd like to be able to get auto-numbered paragraphs, where the numbers for
the paragraphs are prefixed by the section numbers.

So for example:

   Introduction
   -----------

   #. First bit of waffle

   #. Second bit of waffle

Would result in output that looks like:

   1. Introduction
   ---------------

   1.1 First bit of waffle

   1.2 Second bit of waffle

Is this achievable?

TIA.
