[Docutils-users] how to modify reST parsing?

[Tom R. <Tom...@po...>]

I use `restview`[1] mostly to locally preview reST documents before I push them to Bitbucket (BB). BB's reST parser accepts 4-char-length header/title underlines, e.g.,

> summary
> ====

I prefer those, since they are easier to produce and search for. However my (Debian) laptop's `restview` does not: I get (e.g.)

> System Message: WARNING/2 (./README.rst, line 13)xm
> Title underline too short.
>     summary
>     ====

I have put an issue on `restview`[2] regarding this. However, I strongly suspect the relevant parsing is being done by my laptop's `docutils` (which is a `restview` install dependency). Am I missing something? 

If not: can I configure my system `docutils` so as *not* to emit this warning?

If feasible please reply to me as well as to the list, and TIA, Tom Roche <Tom...@po...>
