| | 1 | = reStructuredText Support in Trac = |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | Trac supports [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html reStructuredText (RST)] as an alternative to wiki markup where WikiFormatting is used. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | From the reStucturedText webpage: |
| | 6 | "''reStructuredText is an easy-to-read, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup syntax and parser system. It is useful for in-line program documentation (such as Python docstrings), for quickly creating simple web pages, and for standalone documents. reStructuredText is designed for extensibility for specific application domains. ''" |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | If you want a file from your Subversion repository to be displayed as reStructuredText in the Trac source browser, set `text/x-rst` as the value for the Subversion property `svn:mime-type`. See [trac:source:/trunk/INSTALL this example]. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | === Requirements === |
| | 11 | To activate RST support in Trac, install the python docutils package: `easy_install docutils`. If not already available on your operating system, you can download it at the [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html RST Website]. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | Do not use the package manager of your OS, eg `apt-get install python-docutils`, because Trac will not find docutils then. |
| | 14 | |

| | 22 | == Using RST in Trac == |
| | 23 | To specify that a block of text should be parsed using RST, use the ''rst'' processor. |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | === TracLinks in reStructuredText === |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | * Trac provides a custom RST directive `trac::` to allow TracLinks from within RST text. |

| | 48 | * Trac allows an even easier way of creating TracLinks in RST, using the custom `:trac:` role. |

| | 71 | === Syntax highlighting in reStructuredText === |
| | 72 | |
| | 73 | There is a directive for doing TracSyntaxColoring in RST as well. The directive is called code-block: |
| | 74 | |
| | 75 | ||= Wiki Markup ||= Display || |
| | 76 | {{{#!td |
| | 77 | {{{ |
| | 78 | {{{ |
| | 79 | #!rst |
| | 80 | |
| | 81 | .. code-block:: python |
| | 82 | |
| | 83 | class Test: |
| | 84 | |
| | 85 | def TestFunction(self): |
| | 86 | pass |
| | 87 | |
| | 88 | }}} |
| | 89 | }}} |
| | 90 | }}} |
| | 91 | {{{#!td |
| | 92 | {{{ |
| | 93 | #!rst |
| | 94 | |

| | 96 | |
| | 97 | class Test: |
| | 98 | |
| | 99 | def TestFunction(self): |
| | 100 | pass |
| | 101 | |
| | 102 | }}} |
| | 103 | }}} |
| | 104 | Note the need to indent the code at least one character after the `.. code-block` directive. |
| | 105 | |
| | 106 | === Wiki Macros in reStructuredText === |
| | 107 | |
| | 108 | To enable [WikiMacros Wiki Macros] in RST, you use the same directive as for syntax highlighting, ie code-block: |
| | 109 | |
| | 110 | ||= Wiki Markup ||= Display || |
| | 111 | {{{#!td |
| | 112 | {{{ |
| | 113 | {{{ |
| | 114 | #!rst |
| | 115 | |
| | 116 | .. code-block:: RecentChanges |
| | 117 | |
| | 118 | Trac,3 |
| | 119 | |
| | 120 | }}} |
| | 121 | }}} |
| | 122 | }}} |
| | 123 | {{{#!td |
| | 124 | {{{ |
| | 125 | #!rst |
| | 126 | |
| | 127 | .. code-block:: RecentChanges |
| | 128 | |
| | 129 | Trac,3 |
| | 130 | |
| | 131 | }}} |
| | 132 | }}} |
| | 133 | |
| | 134 | Or a more concise Wiki Macro-like syntax is also available, using the `:code-block:` role: |
| | 135 | |
| | 136 | ||= Wiki Markup ||= Display || |
| | 137 | {{{#!td |
| | 138 | {{{ |
| | 139 | {{{ |
| | 140 | #!rst |
| | 141 | |
| | 142 | :code-block:`RecentChanges:Trac,3` |
| | 143 | }}} |
| | 144 | }}} |
| | 145 | }}} |
| | 146 | {{{#!td |
| | 147 | {{{ |
| | 148 | #!rst |
| | 149 | |
| | 150 | :code-block:`RecentChanges:Trac,3` |
| | 151 | }}} |
| | 152 | }}} |
