            |  | 3 | Trac supports [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html reStructuredText (RST)] as an alternative to wiki markup where 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 | If you want a file from your Subversion repository to be displayed as reStructuredText in the Trac source browser, set `text/x-rst` as the value for the Subversion property `svn:mime-type`. See [trac:source:/trunk/INSTALL this example]. | 
          
            |  | 9 |  | 
          
            |  | 10 | === Requirements === | 
          
            |  | 11 | To activate RST support in Trac, install the python docutils package: `easy_install docutils`. If not already available on your operating system, you can download it at the [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html RST Website]. | 
          
            |  | 12 |  | 
          
            |  | 13 | Do not use the package manager of your OS, eg `apt-get install python-docutils`, because Trac will not find docutils then. | 
          
            |  | 14 |  |

            |  | 22 | == Using RST in Trac == | 
          
            |  | 23 | To specify that a block of text should be parsed using RST, use the ''rst'' processor. | 
          
            |  | 24 |  | 
          
            |  | 25 | === TracLinks in reStructuredText === | 
          
            |  | 26 |  | 
          
            |  | 27 | * Trac provides a custom RST directive `trac::` to allow TracLinks from within RST text. |
