- corndoge 7y agoI saw your other comment as well. I don't know what to say, you're correct, RST is deficient here.
- JoBrad 7y agoIs there a syntactical reason this method couldn’t be supported in rST?
- oefrha 7y agoNo. Quote FAQ: > Not currently, no. It's on the to-do list (details here), and hopefully will be part of the reStructuredText parser soon. At that time, markup like this will become possible: Here is some *emphasized text containing a `hyperlink`_ and ``inline literals``*. So absolutely valid syntax just doesn’t work. Aaaand that todo list entry dates back to 2001. (I know, I know, instead of complaining I should submit a fucking patch. Unfortunately fixing reST is one of the least urgent things on my should-submit-a-patch list.)
