Dear Schimon, On 2025-08-08, Schimon Jehudah via Docutils-users wrote: > Are there intentions to merge rst2gemtext into docutils? ... > https://github.com/flozz/rst2gemtext/issues/9 Currently not. I agree, that "gemtext" export is a useful addition to Docutils, especially as both formats are "text centered" and try to stay distraction free. However, I am less sure merging is the best way forward at the current stage. Instead, I propose to develop the project as an "independent sister-project", using Docutils' plug-in architecture. This means generating a "gemtext" writer that can be used as docutils --writer=gemtext mydoc.rst > mydoc.gemtext as well as in the `Publisher Interface`__ provided by `docutils.core` (https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/api/publisher.html). In Docutils, we can provide cross-links in the Documentation similar to what we already do for "markdown" parsers. Not only in the "Docutils Link List", but also in, e.g., https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/config.html#docutils-application Regards, Günter |
