Is there example code?

No. I am interested in utilizing only rST. It appears to be a perfect
format for documents, presentations, and internet pages.

The purpose of Rivista Voyager is to only utilize standards.

I would appreciate example code for hte extraction of "title" and
"address".

Please see fields of the new version of that document.

Fields: "authors", "enclosures", "tags" (title and address),
"metalink", "related", and in file "xmpp.rst", see field
"microsummaries" and "tags" (some only have address).

If this is abount the preamble/metadata, then it is not a concern to
me, as I utilize element "atom:link" which data is automatically
realize to a hyperlink, even if it is eDonkey2000, Hypercore, et cetera.

Transcript
----------

Trust.

Trust is the personal belief in correctness of something;

It is the deep conviction of truth and rightness, and cannot be enforced;

If you gain someone's trust, you have established an interpersonal relation=
ship,
based on communication, shared values and experiences;

Trust always depends on mutuality.

This process has been reshaped by the computer industry;

Now, a microchip does that task for you;

The industry calls it: =E2=80=9CTrusted Computing=E2=80=9D;

This chip will be in computers, notebooks, servers, PDAs, cell phones, game
units, DVD players, set-top boxes, watches, mixers, steam irons, fridges, f=
ire
extinguishers, earplugs, toilets, dogs [...] game-units, and it will be in =
your
devices too.

What has Trusted Computing to do with trust?

Let us show you.

In a Trusted Computing environment, the major goal is to protect us from
potential threats;

The original Trusted Computing idea is designed to let you decide what to
consider as threat, and what to consider trustworthy;

You can control by your own personal conviction.

Trusted Computing. Sounds great. Doesn't it?

The industry's interpretation of the Trusted Computing idea looks quite sim=
ilar,
aiming at the same, to fight threats and make computing trustworthy;

The main difference is, that you cannot decide by your own what is trustwor=
thy
and what is not, because they already decided for you, and they already dec=
ided
not to trust you;

So, if they don't trust you, why should you trust them?

Trusted Computing. Sounds great. Is it?

No more.

LeechCraft is a free open source modular system which offers anything that =
you
would possibly want from an internet client software, and by installing
different modules you can customize the feature set, keeping off the things=

Blasta is a collaborative bookmarks manager for organizing online content.

It allows you to add links to your personal collection of links, to categor=
ize
them with keywords, and to share and synchronize your collection among your=
 own
software, devices, machines, and also with others.

The ability of Blasta to display to you the links that other people have
collected and shared, as well as showing you who else has bookmarked a spec=
ific
link is what makes Blasta a collaborative system.

You can also view the links collected by others, and subscribe to the links=
 of
people whose lists you deem to be interesting.

privacy and our independence. It is intended to protect the rights and libe=
rties
that people have regarding own private and numeric data, acquaintance's, an=
d the
handled data; it is also intended to be a human contact point, not substitu=
ting
itself to physical encounters, but rather facilitating them. Libervia will
always fight against all forms of technology control by private interests. =

.. epigraph::

   Microblogging is not only logging thoughts to a database.

   It is about communication. And it is about communication with focus on N=
OW.

   So we need real time capabilities back.

   Polling is expensive and limited. Microblogging should be more of chatti=
ng.

   Maybe an initial post is often a start for various conversations.

   Microblogging is a service for the real masses - they just do not know y=
et.

   And if it is for the masses we need decentralization.
