reStructuredText and WordPress

Filed under: docutils, python — bob @ 11:44 pm

Well, I've installed WordPress, because it was a lot easier than anything else that can use reStructuredText. I'm using a slightly modified version of this plugin. Hopefully I'll be able to whip together some quick scripts to import all of the entries from the old PyDS (ughh) blog and post them here, probably with the XML-RPC interface.

This post was written with MarsEdit 1.0, but I would like something that understands reStructuredText in the future. Maybe a future version will allow me to write a PyObjC plugin that gives it this support?

  1. Version 1.2 is now available which folds in the performance improvements that Bob has applied, and also supports the “more” tag. http://goldenspud.com/webrog/archives/2004/12/23/rest-easy-with-wordpress/

    Thanks Bob!!

  2. New python toys
    Bob is also looking for a blogging tool that lets him automate markup
    - he should try Ecto, which Ado added a great new feature to - it will call your Python code to filter the text before posting.

  4. That does look pretty interesting, however, that’s not how I want it to work. I want to have editor support for reStructuredText with live preview and possibly syntax awareness. I already have WordPress doing the reST to HTML so such simple script support isn’t going to do me much good.

  5. Thanks for checking out MarsEdit! We do plan to add plugin support in the future and support for more text filters.

  6. Well, MarsEdit was the obvious thing to try first, because I already had a license for it from a previous registration of NNW :)
