Dear List,
how can I specify the source of a file in the restindex.txt file?
* if the restindex is embedded in a source file there is no need to
specify it.
* for a restindex in restindex.txt, where the target already exists,
there is no need either.
However, if there is a (restructured) text file I want rest2web to build but
cannot include a restindex in, I have a problem.
I would assume something like
restindex
crumb: pylit.py
source: pylit.py.txt
build: yes
target: pylit.py.html
file: pylit.py
/restindex
but there is no mention of a "souce" keyword for the restindex.
My current workaround is to manually convert the txt to html with
docutils and a restindex.txt like::
restindex
crumb: pylit.py
target: pylit.py.html
file: pylit.py
file: pylit.py.txt
file: pylit.py.html
file: 99bottles.py
file: 99bottles.py.txt
file: 99bottles.py.html
# ... and 24 more files ...
/restindex
Background
----------
in my rest2web built site ( http://pylit.berlios.de/ ) I have lot of
examples of "literate python scripts" which are reStructured text with some
special requiremens to be compatible with the pylit txt<->code converter.
Especially, the first comment is considered to be the file header. See
http://pylit.berlios.de/tutorial/index.html#file-headers for the rationale.
Thanks
Günter
