Re: [Docutils-users] dfn role? (enhancement)

[Alan G. I. <ala...@gm...>]

This sounds great.  Here is how I understand this:
if I update from Subversion and install the latest revision (8786)
that I should be able to use my custom `dfn(emphasis)` role and see a `dfn`
element if I use the rst2html5.py script (which, iiuc, uses the
rst2html5_polyglot writer).

However, I still see an `em` element with a `dfn` class.
Have I misunderstood? I'm looking at
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/HISTORY.html#release-0-17-2021-04-03

Thanks, Alan Isaac
