[[!tag type/format]]
This plugin lets ikwiki convert files with names ending in ".rst" to html.
It uses the reStructuredText
markup syntax. You need to have [[!cpan RPC::XML]], python and the
python-docutils module installed to use it.
Note that this plugin does not interoperate very well with the rest of
ikiwiki. Limitations include:

There are issues with inserting raw html into documents, as ikiwiki
does with [[WikiLinks|ikiwiki/WikiLink]] and many
[[PreprocessorDirectives|ikiwiki/PreprocessorDirective]].

So while you may find this useful for importing old files into your wiki,
using this as your main markup language in ikiwiki isn't recommended at
this time.
