html2rest 0.2.2

Convert HTML to restructuredText

Convert HTML to restructuredText. Very limited, but intended as a “50%” tool, to be followed by manual editing.

Install

easy_install html2rest

Or:

pip install html2rest

Usage

From the command line:

html2rest http://sphinx.pocoo.org/templating.html > templating.rst

Or programmatically:

from html2rest import html2rest

stream = StringIO()

html2rest('<ul><li>one</li><li>two</li></ul>', writer=stream)

Specify input encoding (default is ‘utf8’) and a preprocessor:

def strip_chars(html):
    return html.replace('¶', '')

html2rest(html, writer=stream, encoding='latin1', preprocess=strip_chars)
