restructuredtext (rst) syntax support

@dan: to do a quick hack you would only need to touch formats/wiki.py
and make it read / write rst. If you have this up and running you can
send it to me and I'll add options in the UI for the user to select
the format as a notebook preference. The parse tree format is basicly
an XML like internal format. There is some documentation in the
HACKING notebook in the source. If you have any questions feel free to
mail me directly.

Interesting... I think it could be quite easy to make wiki.py read / write rst
If I'm not mistaken, all the tools are available in docutils.core

This would be so cool, especially with full support for the Sphinx extensions.

Actually support for **any** "more standard" syntax would be a vast improvement over having a proprietary one (yes mostly the same as DokuWiki but. . .)

Ideal from my POV would be Pandoc's extended Markdown as that opens up a huge number of conversions, or Txt2tags.

Pandoc supports reST as an input format, but only a subset.

Did this ever go anywhere? Having an option to default my ZIM docs as RST for Sphinx would be fantastic!

I love ZIM, but would love to have the option to default my files to RST instead.

THe pyzim-next code tree has a more generalized parser class, so it is
more easy to implement now than before and framework is more or less
prepared for this. However implementing/integrating a RST parser is
not on my priority list, so it will be on the shelve until someone
picks it up.
