Requirements

rst2xaml depends on:

• docutils

• Pygments

Tested with Python 2.5 and 2.6, but probably works fine under Python 2.4.

The Silverlight output is intended to work with Moonlight (the equivalent of Silverlight 2) and Silverlight 3. Let me know if there are any problems.

Current status

The docutils writer for both FlowDocument and Silverlight XAML can currently handle the following markup features:

• title and headings

• paragraphs

• bold

• italics

• literal blocks

• inline literals

• line blocks

• bullet lists

• enumerated lists

• blockquotes

• the raw:: xaml directive

• the pygments code-block directive

In addition the FlowDocument output can handle superscript, although that only works for fonts that support it.

Nested enumerated lists don’t yet work correctly for either FlowDocument or Silverlight output.

Scripts

There are three scripts that come with rst2xaml:

python rst2xaml.py source.txt output.xaml
python rst2xamlsl.py silverlight-source.txt silverlight-output.xaml
ipy.exe display_xaml.py output.xaml

If display_xaml.py is run without a command line argument it will open a file dialog for you to choose a xaml file to display.

Tests

The tests use the discover module, which is included in the repository for convenience. You run the tests with:

python discover.py

Development

The development version of rst2xaml is hosted on a google project page:
