Generates (X)HTML5 documents from standalone reStructuredText sources

Project description

rst2html5

rst2html5 generates (X)HTML5 documents from standalone reStructuredText sources. It is a complete rewrite of the docutils’ rst2html and uses new HTML5 constructs such as <section> and <aside>.

Example

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>

Stylesheets and Scripts

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

Additional scripts can be included in the result using options --script, --script-defer or --script-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>
...

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">
...

Templates

Custom html5 template via the --template option. Example:

$ template='<!DOCTYPE html>
<html{html_attr}>
<head>{head}    <!-- custom links and scripts -->
    <link href="css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="css/pygments.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>{body}</body>
</html>'

$ echo 'one line' > example.rst

$ rst2html5 --template "$template" example.rst
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <!-- custom links and scripts -->
    <link href="css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="css/pygments.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <p>one line</p>
</body>
</html>

New Directives

rst2html5 provides some new directives: define, undef, ifdef and ifndef, similar to those used in C++. They allow to conditionally include (or not) some rst snippets:

.. ifdef:: x

    this line will be included if 'x' was previously defined

In case of you check two or more identifiers, there must be an operator ([and | or]) defined:

.. ifdef:: x y z
    :operator: or

    This line will be included only if 'x', 'y' or 'z' is defined.
