#16 Need documentation on how to configure Eclipse and previewer

[David Wood]

I'm running running Eclipse 4.11.0 on Windows 10. I've installed the ReST Editor plugin from the Eclipse Marketplace and have opened a .rst file. It is doing text coloring for me, but that seems to be about it. I was hoping to see a previewed version of the .rst file similar to the Eclipse Web Page Editor plugin with its "Preview' tab at the bottom of its view. Perhaps I've missed it, but if so, configuration was unclear. I've seen unreadable snapshots of Eclipse Sphinx preferences, but have not found any way to install this (does not seem to be in the Eclipse Marketplace) and its not clear what I need to install. Thanks

Hi,

Indeed the ReST Editor plugin features are only:

• syntax color
• auto-format of grid tables
• content "assist" (doc as tool tip) for operators
• outline of the document

Previous version also had support for the Eclipse Color Theme plugin, which is not available anymore.

The plugin was created to assist the writing of Sphinx documentation generator, which has to be installed on the system (via pip install sphinx).

The preview page is not supported by this plugin.
It is not planned to add new features for now, the latest release being mainly a bugfix on the grid table format on Windows-style files.

Best regards,
Thomas
