django-docutils, docutils (reStructuredText) support for Django

The full documentation is at https://django-docutils.git-pull.com.

Install django-docutils:

pip install django-docutils

If you want to use the template filter, add it to your INSTALLED_APPS in your settings file:

INSTALLED_APPS = [ # ... your default apps,
    'django_docutils'
]

Then in your template:

{% load django_docutils %}
{% filter restructuredtext %}
# 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.

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 = [ # .. your default engines
{
    'NAME': 'docutils',
    'BACKEND': 'django_docutils.engines.Docutils',
    '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'
