Could you start rst2html.py from the command line (DOS prompt) with the
option --title=Dornröschen and see if the title is correctly set

 Dornröschen with Character 'ö' (246, 0xF6) LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS

or becomes

 Dornr÷schen with Character '÷' (247, 0xF7) DIVISION SIGN

as indicated by the test.

Also I might need to know the "locale" setting.

If I wanted to get something like that done in a hurry I'd convert text
to html with docutils, read the html with lxml, and use some python
code to grind the table into a dict using xpath.

I would think your approach should work, just depends whether you're
more comfortable digging in to docutils or using lxml.  Obviously
you've already started the former.

Test suite failure

Hi,

System config:
dan <at> voldemort:~/docutils$ uname -a && ./tools/quicktest.py --v &&
python --version
    SunOS voldemort 5.11 snv_151a i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
    quicktest.py (Docutils 0.9 [snapshot 2011-08-30, r7116])
    Python 2.6.4

Built docutils so I could build the full Mercurial source including man pages.

Everything seemed to compile ok, and hg works, but the man pages are
screwy so I ran the full test suite. Attached is the output of
"dan <at> voldemort:~/docutils$ ./test/alltests.py > ./test_results 2>&1"

Seems like this is a known bug on the Mercurial list:
http://mercurial.selenic.com/bts/issue2527 - not sure if it's docutils
or hg.

cheers
Dan

Re: Test suite failure

neither docutils nor mercurial

i see the same error on different pythons, on macosx python 2.6 (or
so) the error messages
are different. but it is one 2.6. subversion that brings up this
error, other 2.6 dont and other versions neither.

all the best

Using rest for more-structured content

Hi all,

I'm considering writing a Python tutorial site with embedded executable 
exercises.  I'd like to use ReST for the content, but I'm having trouble 
finding exemplars for the embedded exercises.  An exercise will have a 
number of components: name, starting code (often empty), supporting 
named files, instructor-supplied tests to run on the results, and so 
on.  If I were using XML, I'd use an <exercise> tag, with name="", 
<usercode>, <tests>, <file>, and so on sub-elements.

A single page of tutorial could of course have multiple exercises.

What would be the natural way to express something like this in ReST?  
I'd like to be able to process the result so that a page contains 
exercises, but also possibly, the exercises are available as standalone 
objects I could serve separately.  Hints as to how to go about extending 
docutils to handle the format would be appreciated also.

I'm not a subscriber to this list, so cc's are appreciated.

Thanks.

--Ned.

I don't think there is *one* "natural" way. Depending on the exact task,
I can imagine:

* Using Sphinx_ for the complete project. This would generate a
  complete "site", facilitate inter-document links and offers more
  configuration options (skipping elements with/without a special class
  argument value etc.)

  .. _Sphinx: http://sphinx.pocoo.org

* Separate files for every exercise. The tutorial would ``.. include::``

Re: Using rest for more-structured content

Hi Ned,

In addition to Guenter's ideas, I suggest using the "container" directive [1]_::

    .. container:: exercise

       .. include:: exercise-file.py

In HTML you'll end up with <div class="exercise">, which you can style
as you'd like.
