ReStructuredText

Overview
========
This plugin is a fork of `jekyll-rst <https://github.com/xdissent/jekyll-rst>`_ that adds `ReStructuredText`_ support to `Jekyll`_ and `Octopress`_.
It renders ReST in posts and pages, and provides a custom directive to
support Octopress-compatible syntax highlighting.
This version supports rst2html5 conversion but hasn't been tested for Octopress compatability.
The main change on this fork is that this version uses Nokogiri to extract the HTML body contents since rst2html5 doesn't return parts like rst2html.
Requirements
============
* Jekyll *or* Octopress >= 2.0
* Docutils
* Pygments
* `RbST`_
Installation
============
1. Install Docutils and Pygments.
The most convenient way is to use virtualenv_burrito:
::
$ curl -s https://raw.github.com/brainsik/virtualenv-burrito/master/virtualenv-burrito.sh | bash
$ source /Users/xdissent/.venvburrito/startup.sh
$ mkvirtualenv jekyll-rst
$ pip install docutils pygments
2. Install RbST.
If you use `bundler`_ with Octopress, add ``gem 'RbST'`` to
your ``Gemfile`` in the ``development`` group, then run
``bundle install``. Otherwise, ``gem install RbST``.
3. Install the plugin.
For Jekyll:
::
$ cd <jekyll-project-path>
$ git submodule add https://github.com/xdissent/jekyll-rst.git _plugins/jekyll-rst
For Octopress:
::
$ cd <octopress-project-path>
$ git submodule add https://github.com/xdissent/jekyll-rst.git plugins/jekyll-rst
4. Start blogging in ReStructuredText. Any file with the ``.rst`` extension
will be parsed as ReST and rendered into HTML.
.. note:: Be sure to activate the ``jekyll-rst`` virtualenv before generating
the site by issuing a ``workon jekyll-rst``. I suggest you follow `Harry
Marr's advice`_ and create a ``.venv`` file that will automatically
activate the ``jekyll-rst`` virtualenv when you ``cd`` into your project.
Source Code Highlighting
========================
A ``code-block`` ReST directive is registered and aliased as ``sourcecode``.
It adds syntax highlighting to code blocks in your documents::
.. code-block:: ruby
# Output "I love ReST"
say = "I love ReST"
puts say
Optional arguments exist to supply a caption, link, and link title::
.. code-block:: console
:caption: Read Hacker News on a budget
:url: http://news.ycombinator.com
:title: Hacker News
$ curl http://news.ycombinator.com | less
Octopress already includes style sheets for syntax highlighting, but you'll
need to generate one yourself if using Jekyll::
$ pygmentize -S default -f html > css/pygments.css
Octopress Tips
==============
* Use ``.. more`` in your ReST documents to indicate where Octopress's
``excerpt`` tag should split your content for summary views.
