Examples

Consider the following rst snippet:

Title
=====

Some text and a target to `Title 2`_. **strong emphasis**:

* item 1
* item 2

Title 2
=======

.. parsed-literal::

    Inline markup is supported, e.g. *emphasis*, **strong**, ``literal
    text``,
    _`hyperlink targets`, and `references <http://www.python.org/>`_

The html5 produced is clean and tidy:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
    <section id="title">
        <h1>Title</h1>
        <p>Some text and a target to <a href="#title-2">Title 2</a>. <strong>strong emphasis</strong>:</p>
        <ul>
            <li>item 1</li>
            <li>item 2</li>
        </ul>
    </section>
    <section id="title-2">
        <h1>Title 2</h1>
        <pre>Inline markup is supported, e.g. <em>emphasis</em>, <strong>strong</strong>, <code>literal
text</code>,
<a id="hyperlink-targets">hyperlink targets</a>, and <a href="http://www.python.org/">references</a></pre>
    </section>
</body>
</html>

No stylesheets or classes are spread over the html5 by default. However:

  1. Stylesheets and javascripts URLs or paths can be included through stylesheet and script options.

    $ rst2html5 example.rst \
    --stylesheet css/default.css \
    --stylesheet css/special.css \
    --script https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <link href="css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" />
        <link href="css/special.css" rel="stylesheet" />
        <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    ...
  2. Script attributes defer and async:

    $ rst2html5 example.rst \
    --script js/test1.js \
    --script-defer js/test2.js \
    --script-async js/test3.js
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <script src="js/test1.js"></script>
        <script src="js/test2.js" defer="defer"></script>
        <script src="js/test3.js" async="async"></script>
    ...
  3. Html tag attributes can be included through html-tag-attr option:

    $ rst2html5 --html-tag-attr 'lang="pt-BR"' example.rst
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="pt-BR">
    ...
  4. Classes can be explicitly associated to rst elements (see ref):

    .. class:: special
    
    This is a "special" paragraph.
    
    .. class:: exceptional remarkable
    
    An Exceptional Section
    ======================
    
    This is an ordinary paragraph.

    which results in:

    <p class="special">This is a "special" paragraph.</p>
    <section class="exceptional remarkable" id="an-exceptional-section">
        <h1>An Exceptional Section</h1>
        <p>This is an ordinary paragraph.</p>
    </section>
