#297 crash in restructuredtext.py

[Anonymous]

I have the following string appearing in a docstring:
/tmpdir/html/*/*.html

epydoc was run with the reStructureText option on. So it interpreted */* as an emphasis. That's fine. But then when walking the tree it had generated, it failed:

File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/epydoc/cli.py", line 952, in main
write_html(docindex, options)
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/epydoc/cli.py", line 1002, in write_html
html_writer.write(options.target['html'])

if 'term' in node.get('classes')
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable

And node.astext() is u"/" whereas for its parent it's the string ".... /tmpdir/html/*/*.html".
