Hello all,
Just to let you know I've started a project to generate FlowDocument
XAML from reStructuredText source. There is also a pygments formatter so
that source code can be formatted.
The project, rst2xaml is at:
http://code.google.com/p/rst2xaml/
So far it can cope with rest documents consisting of bold, italics,
blockquotes and the sourcecode directive!
The pygments formatter looks quite nice though - here is the output
shown in a FlowDocumentReader:

The goal is to be able to show highlighted Python examples / tutorials
alongside an interactive interpreter in the browser with Silverlight /
Moonlight.
Currently rst2xaml.py itself runs under CPython, but the xaml it
generates is intended to be used from IronPython with WPF. There is an
example script, display_xaml.py, that will show generated xaml in a window.
