A modern CLI and web-based viewer for reStructuredText files.
Project description
rst-previewer
A modern CLI tool that finds reStructuredText (.rst) files in a directory and displays them in a clean, web-based Gradio interface. Perfect for quickly previewing documentation, articles, or notes without a full Sphinx build.
Installation
This tool is designed to be installed and run in an isolated environment using pipx. This avoids cluttering your global Python installation.
Install rst-previewer:
pipx install rst-previewer
That's it! The rst-previewer command is now available anywhere in your terminal.
Usage
Select a file from a directory:
rst-previewer /path/to/your/project/docs/
The tool will print a local URL to your terminal. Open this URL in your web browser to see the rendered document.
