How extensively is STX actually used? I've been looking at it myself recently, and the whole system seem rather simplistic to me in how it parses the text. I'm talking specifically of the STX version currently standard in Zope 2.5 (and 2.4 I think), which I believe is STXNG;

Please also see the ReStructureText effort which addresses a lot of the problems that STXNG is perceived to have. It's really very nice, and one of these days I hope to get it wrapped in a Zope Product. http://structuredtext.sf.net/ Note specifically: http://structuredtext.sourceforge.net/spec/problems.txt If something you see as being a problem in STXNG isn't addressed there, I'm sure the author of ReST would love to hear about it!
