| | 1 | = reStructuredText Support in Trac |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | == Introduction |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | Trac supports [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html reStructuredText (RST)] as an alternative to wiki markup where WikiFormatting is used. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | From the reStucturedText webpage: |
| | 9 | "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." |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | 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]. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | === Requirements |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | 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]. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | Do not use the package manager of your OS, eg `apt-get install python-docutils`, because Trac will not find docutils then. |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | === More information on RST |

| | 23 | |
| | 24 | == Using RST in Trac |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | To specify that a block of text should be parsed using RST, use the ''rst'' processor. |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | === TracLinks in reStructuredText |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | * Trac provides a custom RST directive `trac::` to allow TracLinks from within RST text. |

| | 50 | |
| | 51 | * Trac allows an even easier way of creating TracLinks in RST, using the custom `:trac:` role. |

| | 73 | |
| | 74 | === Syntax highlighting in reStructuredText |
| | 75 | |
| | 76 | There is a directive for doing TracSyntaxColoring in RST as well. The directive is called code-block: |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | ||= Wiki Markup ||= Display || |
| | 79 | {{{#!td |
| | 80 | {{{ |
| | 81 | {{{ |
| | 82 | #!rst |
| | 83 | |
| | 84 | .. code-block:: python |
| | 85 | |
| | 86 | class Test: |
| | 87 | |
| | 88 | def TestFunction(self): |
| | 89 | pass |
| | 90 | |
| | 91 | }}} |
| | 92 | }}} |
| | 93 | }}} |
| | 94 | {{{#!td |
| | 95 | {{{ |
| | 96 | #!rst |
| | 97 | |
| | 98 | .. code-block:: python |
| | 99 | |
| | 100 | class Test: |
| | 101 | |
| | 102 | def TestFunction(self): |
| | 103 | pass |
| | 104 | |
| | 105 | }}} |
| | 106 | }}} |
| | 107 | Note the need to indent the code at least one character after the `.. code-block` directive. |
| | 108 | |
| | 109 | === Wiki Macros in reStructuredText |
| | 110 | |
| | 111 | To enable [WikiMacros Wiki Macros] in RST, you use the same directive as for syntax highlighting, ie code-block: |
| | 112 | |
| | 113 | ||= Wiki Markup ||= Display || |
| | 114 | {{{#!td |
| | 115 | {{{ |
| | 116 | {{{ |
| | 117 | #!rst |
| | 118 | |
| | 119 | .. code-block:: RecentChanges |
| | 120 | |
| | 121 | Trac,3 |
| | 122 | |
| | 123 | }}} |
| | 124 | }}} |
| | 125 | }}} |
| | 126 | {{{#!td |
| | 127 | {{{ |
| | 128 | #!rst |
| | 129 | |
| | 130 | .. code-block:: RecentChanges |
| | 131 | |
| | 132 | Trac,3 |
| | 133 | |
| | 134 | }}} |
| | 135 | }}} |
| | 136 | |
| | 137 | Or a more concise Wiki Macro-like syntax is also available, using the `:code-block:` role: |
| | 138 | |
| | 139 | ||= Wiki Markup ||= Display || |
| | 140 | {{{#!td |
| | 141 | {{{ |
| | 142 | {{{ |
| | 143 | #!rst |
| | 144 | |
| | 145 | :code-block:`RecentChanges:Trac,3` |
| | 146 | }}} |
| | 147 | }}} |
| | 148 | }}} |
| | 149 | {{{#!td |
| | 150 | {{{ |
| | 151 | #!rst |
| | 152 | |
| | 153 | :code-block:`RecentChanges:Trac,3` |
| | 154 | }}} |
| | 155 | }}} |
