Thanks Rosa!

Both yes and no.

That does have the spec (though no reference to the "only::" thing), but it doesn't say what parser to use for it.

I see that the :ref: thing is pulled from python (https://devguide.python.org/documenting/#cross-linking-markup) but again, the parsers I've been trying are barfing on that (and one is a Python IDE!) meaning I can't actually reliably preview an RST which I imagine reduces contributions (I've lost an hour to this so far!).

A more general question to the community would be: Wouldn't it make more sense to use plain RST to allow the largest toolset possible to edit the docs?

Thanks again,

Jonathan

Subject: [QGIS-Developer] QGIS Docs: ReStructureText flavour?

Hi List,

What flavour is the RST behind the QGIS docs? There are quite a few things in here that are syntax erroring all the parsers I'm trying and aren't in the basic RST spec either (https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/rst/cheatsheet.txt).

For example using ":ref:" for internal hyperlinks when the spec says they should be done like this:
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#internal-hyperlink-targets
(there is no "ref" in the specs). Or the `.. only:: html` that starts some files.

I tried looking at the QGIS Docs page but I couldn't see anything about what RST standard the docs should be written to. Where can I find the spec?

Cheers,

Jonathan
