I wanted to look into if we can hook into rst and influence how links are resolved.
It turns out it is possible, and I have a working WIP for the rst plugin that does this.
-My work in progress for `/usr/lib/ikiwiki/plugins/rst` is here: http://kaizer.se/wiki/rst.py
-*Warning, written in the middle of the night just to test if it works!*
+My work in progress for `/usr/lib/ikiwiki/plugins/rst` is here:
+[[todo/Resolve native reStructuredText links to ikiwiki pages]]
It basically matches normal rst links just like ikiwiki would match a wikilink
if it existed.
I converted one of my pages to rst:
-Before: http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer-mdwn
-After: http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer-rst
+Before: <http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer-mdwn>
+After: <http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer-rst>
I need help on a couple of points
* Can we include this in ikiwiki's rst if it is not too hairy?

+preprocessor directives into raw HTML and reST hates inline HTML.

+Is it possible for ikiwiki to store preprocessor directives in memory, and replace them with place holders, then do the rst process. After the rst processing, process the preprocessor directives and replace place holders. --[[weakish]]
