ClassicStructuredText - deprecated regsub

[Joseph VanAndel]

First a question:
Now that I'm using happydoc 2.0.1,
to generate HTML tables  from docstrings,   I need to specify:

happydoc parser_docStringFormat=ClassicStructuredText
my_file.py

If I use the default docstring processing, the '||' characters in my doc strings are not processed as table cell delimiters and simply appear in my HTML output.

Will "ClassicStructuredText" be supported in future versions, or should I migrate to some other format for my docstrings?

Also, when I use ClassicStructuredText,  python compains:
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/happydoclib/docstring/StructuredText/ts_regex.py:87: DeprecationWarning: the regex module is deprecated; please use the re module
  import regex, regsub #, Sync
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/regsub.py:15: DeprecationWarning: the regsub module is deprecated; please use re.sub()
  DeprecationWarning)

The default formatting was changed from classic to NG because of the regsub deprecation issue.  Most classic ST should work with the NG parser, except a few items such as tables (which you have discovered).  There is a new table format which supports multi-row cells and is a bit easier to make sense out of when looking at the plain text form.

Classic ST support will always be retained via the parser_docStringFormat option, so you do not need to worry about converting your tables over now. 

I do not believe there is any way to eliminate the deprecation warning from the regsub module, so those will continue until you do convert to the NG form.
