[[!template id=plugin name=rst author="martin f. krafft"]] [[!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.
