[Moin-devel] New rst parser

[Matthew Gilbert]

Hi all,

I've just finished wrapping up a "beta" version of a new rst parser. It 
is based on using the docutils html4css1 parser rather than letting 
moinmoin do the html markup. It supports all of the moinmoin linking 
types but using a docutils syntax. In my testing I've gotten much better 
results with this method than with letting moinmoin do the markup. There 
are still some issues of course with some docutils styles not being 
supported, but overall it seems better. Unfortunately I forgot to update 
the required line so it mistakenly suggests you need a CVS version of 
docutils. I've been testing with docutils 0.3.5 and am not sure if it 
works with older versions.

Anyway, I'm happy to make any fixes that anyone sees. I don't know the 
moinmoin code well enough to give a comparison with the patch that is 
already submitted from June (although, in my testing mine works quite a 
bit better and supports more documents).

Please let me know if people are interested in continuing to see this 
developed (and eventually included). If the consensus is that this isn't 
the correct direction, please let me know and I won't waste anymore time 
on it.

Thanks _matt
