 This plugin lets ikwiki convert files with names ending in ".rst" to html.
 It uses the [reStructuredText](http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html)
-markup syntax. You need to have the python-docutils module installed to use
-it.
+markup syntax. You need to have [[!cpan RPC::XML]], python and the
+python-docutils module installed to use it.
 
-Note that this plugin is rather slow; it forks a copy of python for each
-page. While there is a perl version of the reStructuredText processor, it
-is not being kept in sync with the standard version, so is not used.
+Note that this plugin does not interoperate very well with the rest of
+ikiwiki. Limitations include:
+
+* There are issues with inserting raw html into documents, as ikiwiki 
+  does with [[WikiLinks|ikiwiki/WikiLink]] and many 
+  preprocessor [[directives|ikiwiki/directive]].
