[Zope-CMF] Re: reStructuredText

[Florent Guillaume]

Regarding StructuredText / reStructuredText:

Actually if this is a tool to give to users, both of those are much too
complicated, and there is too much magic in them. A plain user doesn't
want things 'like that' to appear in <code>, or things "like that": to
appear like a link. Way too much magic. Also underline is rarely used,
stars don't delimit text well enough, etc.

STX/reSTX is good for power users, but that's hardly the majority of my
clients' users. What I want (and will end up writing at some point) is a
very very simplified form of STX, that provides headers, paragraphes,
lists, links, but with *very* explicit markup.

For those who read French, here's an example of the syntax another
PHP-based system (SPIP) uses:
