Docutils 0.3.7 released ======================= Docutils 0.3.7 has been released. You can download it from <http://prdownloads.sf.net/docutils/docutils-0.3.7.tar.gz?download>. The Docutils homepage is located at <http://docutils.sf.net/>.
Docutils is a system for processing plaintext documentation into various useful formats, such as HTML or LaTeX. It includes reStructuredText, the easy to read, easy to use, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup language. Major changes since Docutils 0.3.5: * A special "line block" syntax useful for addresses, verse, and other cases of significant line breaks has been added; see <http://docutils.sf.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#line-blocks> and <http://docutils.sf.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#line-blocks>. * Empty sections are now allowed. * A "raw" role has been added; see <http://docutils.sf.net/docs/ref/rst/roles.html#raw>. * The LaTeX writer now escapes consecutive dashes (like "--" or "---") so that they are no longer transformed by LaTeX to en or em dashes. If you want to write en or em dashes using pure ASCII, please refer to <http://docutils.sf.net/FAQ.html#how-can-i-represent-esoteric-characters-e-g-character-entities-in-a-document>. * A dependency recorder has been added; see <http://docutils.sf.net/docs/user/config.html#record-dependencies>. * A directive has been added for compound paragraphs; see <http://docutils.sf.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#compound-paragraph>. * Many other improvements and bug fixes; see <http://docutils.sf.net/0.3.7/HISTORY.html>.
