reStructuredText #348

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

I see that Markdown is supported:

Is reStructuredText supported?

RST syntax is not currently supported. There don't seem to be any good JVM-based libraries to process RST content, but it should be possible to use Jython to call the Python libraries directly, similar to how Pygments syntax highlighting is currently implemented. I'll look more into this to see how difficult it would be to add to Orchid.

@cjbrooks12 thanks

not sure if it helps - but PanDoc can be used as well:

Pandoc is a converter, not renderer. I am not sure it will work stably with rst. And it primary format is still markdown.
