Talk:ReStructuredText

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Original stub

The original stub for "ReStructured Text" (note the space) was as follows:

reStructuredText (abbreviated reST) is a lightweight markup language capable of being read in its plaintext form. The standard Python module Docutils uses reST.

[edit] Initial changes

I'm trying to turn it into a full-blown article, as I use RST all the time. I made a new article for "ReStructuredText" (the proper name), set up a redirect from "ReStructured Text" to "ReStructuredText", made some changes, removed the awkward formatting (as it's purely aesthetic), and added the article to Wikipedia:List of pages whose correct title is not allowed by MediaWiki (because of the leading lowercase "r").

Er, the proper name is “reStruturedText” (I find it a bit ugly since I loathe stupidly capitalized names but it is named so). You can read a capitalized inital “r” where title case is used or at the beginning of a sentence. Regarding the abbreviations, I’ve noticed the it is abbreviated “reST” in human talk and “rst” in code.
