rst2md

Overview

rst2md is a custom writer for Python's Docutils document processing system which converts reStructuredText documents to Markdown.

Note: This project was a simple proof of concept. It's not complete or ready for production in any sense.

License

rst2md is released under the permissive BSD 2-Clause License, see the file LICENSE for the license text.

Installation

Currently there is not an installation script. The most straightforward way to get rst2md.py working is to:

• ensure that Docutils is installed,

• copy, move or link the file markdown.py, located in the repository root directory, to docutils/writiers/ in the standard Docutils package and the file rst2md.py, located under tools/, to anywhere on your PATH (or PYTHONPATH).

Contributing

Comments and enhancements are very welcome.

Report any issues or feature requests on the GitHub bug tracker. Please include a minimal (not-) working example which reproduces the bug and, if appropriate, the Docutils traceback information (obtained by running rst2md.py with the --traceback option). Please do not request features already being worked towards (see the TODO file).

Code contributions are encouraged: please feel free to fork the project and submit pull requests.
