I'd like to emphasize how deeply misguided the old code was. It attempted to offer a gazillion features to turn outlines into literate programs. Instead, a simpler, more general approach is to let the user be responsible for content, letting rst3 handle the syntactic grunge of turning headlines into rST section references. Anyone can understand what I've said. Nobody, myself included could possibly remember the old details. Furthermore, rST/docutils now supports syntax coloring with pygments, so people an easily make the output of their programs look good, provided they are willing to add just a bit of rST markup. That markup will be simpler than any conceivable rst3 feature. My focus now is to provide the simplest, most general rst3 options that will specify how to call docutils.
