This is great! I've been half-heartedly working on an External Method so I could use reST through Zope, but this is much better.
External Methods yecch :)
My only issue now is that I use Zope Local File System extensively, for keeping my documentation under CVS. I tried a naive mapping of ZReST to *.rst files, but that didn't work. Any ideas how these can be made to work together?
Sorry, I know nothing about the Local File System stuff.
First of all let me thank you all for the great work. I believe this is only one of the many places, where **StructuredText** has been used in Zope. Another important place is the DTML format attribute of DTML variables. For example (looked up from Zope 2.5.1) there is the module ``lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_vars.py``, which implements the DTML language construct:: <dtml-var foobar fmt="structured-text"> This is done using the format dispatcher dictionary ``special_formats``, which contains a reference to the following small function:: def structured_text(v, name='(Unknown name)', md={}): global StructuredText if StructuredText is None: from StructuredText.StructuredText import HTML if isinstance(v,StringType): txt = v elif aq_base(v).meta_type in ['DTML Document','DTML Method']: txt = aq_base(v).read_raw() else: txt = str(v) return HTML(txt,level=3,header=0) My idea is to add a new entry called ``restructured-text`` or simply ``rest`` to this dispatcher dictionary. Yesterday I played around with **CMFWiki** and had a very similar situation. There is a simple wrapper function using the same class HTML. So for further integration of ReST as an alternative replacement for `StructuredText` I believe it makes sense to come up with a wrapper class, which implements the API of the class HTML of StructuredText. Questions ========= * What to do with the parameters ``level`` and ``header`` within **ReST**? * Where should we put this class? Would be an extended **ZReST** Zope product the right place?
