rst support

Initial checklist

• [X] I read the support docs
• [X] I read the contributing guide
• [X] I agree to follow the code of conduct
• [X] I searched issues and couldn’t find anything (or linked relevant results below)

Problem

It will be great to have rst (reStructuredText) supported too like markdown is supported. (maybe this belong in a new npm package but it felt like something this npm package might do great

Solution

The markdown parser can maybe detect if the input is rst and then parse it differently then markdown

Alternatives

Currently the only solution is to convert rst files to markdown files (the only good convertor I found is pandoc)

Welcome @100tomer! 👋 react-markdown is a project for parsing markdown. reStructuredText is not markdown.

It is possible to build something like that, and even to leverage unified js (https://unifiedjs.com/, the foundation of this project) But that is a non-goal for react-markdown.

If you have questions on how to connect reStructuredText with syntax trees or unified, feel free to reach out at https://github.com/orgs/syntax-tree/discussions or https://github.com/orgs/unifiedjs/discussions !
