I was looking into this to support help screens in mando and did some research on this problem. Look at https://github.com/rubik/mando/issues/21 for details.
If you don't use any Sphinx extensions or directives there are ways to get what you want with docutils. In fact, docutils comes with rst2html, rst2latex, rst2man, rst2odt, rst2s5, rst2xetex, and rst2xml command line utilities that you can look at for examples. I could be wrong, maybe someone who can parse what all of the Sphinx classes do and how they fit together could come up with a function call that simply renders a RST string. I, and others mentioned in the link above didn't figure it out. Kindest regards, Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-users" group.
