The Docutils project specifies a plaintext markup language, reStructuredText, which is easy to read
and quick to write. The project includes a python library to parse rST files and transform them
into other useful formats such as HTML, XML, and TeX as well as commandline tools that give the
enduser access to this functionality.
Currently, the library supports parsing rST that is in standalone files and PEPs (Python Enhancement
Proposals). Work is underway to parse rST from Python inline documentation modules and packages.
