rstctl 0.4

HTML preview

You can preview a file:

$ rstctl -w path/to/file.rst

Or the long description of a package:

$ ls setup.py
setup.py

$ rstctl -w

This will open the result in your favorite browser.

Check links

You can use the -l option to add unknown references to the end of a document. Example:

$ cat README.txt
Title
=====

`incomplete ref`_

$ ./bin/rstctl -l README.txt
<string>:4: (ERROR/3) Unknown target name: "incomplete ref".


.. _incomplete ref:


1 links append to README.txt
$ cat README.txt
Title
=====

`incomplete ref`_


.. _incomplete ref:

Then you can add the correct links.
