| | 1 | = reStructuredText Support in Trac = |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | Trac supports using ''reStructuredText'' (RST) as an alternative to wiki markup in any context WikiFormatting is used. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | From the reStucturedText webpage: |
| | 6 | "''reStructuredText is an easy-to-read, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup syntax and parser system. It is useful for in-line program documentation (such as Python docstrings), for quickly creating simple web pages, and for standalone documents. reStructuredText is designed for extensibility for specific application domains. ''" |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | === Requirements === |
| | 9 | Note that to activate RST support in Trac, the python docutils package must be installed. |
| | 10 | If not already available on your operating system, you can download it at the [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html RST Website]. |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | === More information on RST === |

| | 19 | == Using RST in Trac == |
| | 20 | To specify that a block of text should be parsed using RST, use the ''rst'' processor. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | === TracLinks in reStructuredText === |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | * Trac provides a custom RST reference-directive 'trac' to allow TracLinks from within RST text. |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | Example: |
| | 27 | {{{ |
| | 28 | {{{ |
| | 29 | #!rst |
| | 30 | This is a reference to |a ticket| |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | .. |a ticket| trac:: #42 |
| | 33 | }}} |
| | 34 | }}} |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | For a complete example of all uses of the ''trac''-directive, please see WikiRestructuredTextLinks. |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | * Trac allows an even easier way of creating TracLinks in RST, using the custom '':trac:'' link naming scheme. |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | Example: |
| | 42 | {{{ |
| | 43 | {{{ |
| | 44 | #!rst |
| | 45 | This is a reference to ticket `#12`:trac: |

| | 49 | }}} |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | === Syntax highlighting in reStructuredText === |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | There is a directive for doing TracSyntaxColoring in ReST as well. The directive is called |
| | 54 | code-block |
| | 55 | |
| | 56 | Example |
| | 57 | |
| | 58 | {{{ |
| | 59 | {{{ |
| | 60 | #!rst |
| | 61 | |
| | 62 | .. code-block:: python |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | class Test: |
| | 65 | |
| | 66 | def TestFunction(self): |
| | 67 | pass |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | }}} |
| | 70 | }}} |
| | 71 | |
| | 72 | Will result in the below. |
| | 73 | |
| | 74 | {{{ |
| | 75 | #!rst |
| | 76 | |
| | 77 | .. code-block:: python |
| | 78 | |
| | 79 | class Test: |
| | 80 | |
| | 81 | def TestFunction(self): |
| | 82 | pass |
| | 83 | |
| | 84 | }}} |
| | 85 | |
| | 86 | === Wiki Macros in reStructuredText === |
| | 87 | |
| | 88 | For doing [WikiMacros Wiki Macros] in ReST you use the same directive as for syntax highlighting i.e |
| | 89 | code-block. To work you must use a version of trac that has #801 applied. |
| | 90 | |
| | 91 | === Wiki Macro Example === |
| | 92 | |
| | 93 | {{{ |
| | 94 | {{{ |
| | 95 | #!rst |
| | 96 | |
| | 97 | .. code-block:: RecentChanges |
| | 98 | |
| | 99 | Trac,3 |
| | 100 | |
| | 101 | }}} |
| | 102 | }}} |
| | 103 | |
| | 104 | Will result in the below: |
| | 105 | |
| | 106 | [[RecentChanges(Trac,3)]] |
| | 107 | |
| | 108 | Or a more concise Wiki Macro like syntax is also available: |
| | 109 | |
| | 110 | {{{ |
| | 111 | {{{ |
| | 112 | #!rst |
| | 113 | |
| | 114 | :code-block:`RecentChanges:Trac,3` |
| | 115 | }}} |
| | 116 | }}} |
| | 117 | |
| | 118 | === Bigger ReST Example === |
| | 119 | The example below should be mostly self-explanatory: |
| | 120 | {{{ |
| | 121 | #!html |
| | 122 | <pre class="wiki">{{{ |
| | 123 | #!rst |
