Hi all, I've just finished wrapping up a "beta" version of a new rst parser. It is based on using the docutils html4css1 parser rather than letting moinmoin do the html markup. It supports all of the moinmoin linking types but using a docutils syntax. In my testing I've gotten much better results with this method than with letting moinmoin do the markup. There are still some issues of course with some docutils styles not being supported, but overall it seems better. Unfortunately I forgot to update the required line so it mistakenly suggests you need a CVS version of docutils. I've been testing with docutils 0.3.5 and am not sure if it works with older versions. Anyway, I'm happy to make any fixes that anyone sees. I don't know the moinmoin code well enough to give a comparison with the patch that is already submitted from June (although, in my testing mine works quite a bit better and supports more documents). Please let me know if people are interested in continuing to see this developed (and eventually included). If the consensus is that this isn't the correct direction, please let me know and I won't waste anymore time on it.
