docutils (a.k.a. reStructuredText / rst / reST) support for Django.
Install django-docutils:
$ pip install django-docutils
Next, add django_docutils
to your INSTALLED_APPS
in your settings file:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# ... your default apps,
'django_docutils'
]
In your template:
{% load django_docutils %}
{% rst %}
# hey
# how's it going
A. hows
B. it
C. going
D. today
**hi**
*hi*
{% endrst %}
In your template:
{% load django_docutils %}
{% filter rst %}
# hey
# how's it going
A. hows
B. it
C. going
D. today
**hi**
*hi*
{% endfilter %}
You can also use a class-based view to render reStructuredText (reST).
If you want to use reStructuredText as a django template engine, INSTALLED_APPS
isn't required,
instead you add this to your TEMPLATES
variable in your settings:
TEMPLATES = [
# ... Other engines
{
"NAME": "docutils",
"BACKEND": "django_docutils.template.DocutilsTemplates",
"DIRS": [],
"APP_DIRS": True,
}
]
Now django will be able to scan for .rst files and process them. In your view:
from django_docutils.views import DocutilsView
class HomeView(DocutilsView):
template_name = 'base.html'
rst_name = 'home.rst'
