# Very simple reStructuredText processor.
#
# This plugin calls python and requires python-docutils to transform the text
# into html.
#
# Its main problem is that it does not support ikiwiki's WikiLinks nor
# Preprocessor Directives.
#
# Probably Wikilinks and Preprocessor Directives should support a list of
# extensions to process (i.e. the linkify function could be transformed into
# reStructuredText instead of HTML using a hook on rst.py instead of the
# current linkify function)
