Components:
* Added an S5/HTML writer and the rst2s5.py front end: multi-platform,
multi-browser HTML slide shows.
* The newlatex2e writer is nearing completion.
* Added a DocTree reader, publish_doctree and publish_from_doctree convenience
functions, for document tree extraction and reprocessing.
reStructuredText:
* Added directives: "container" (generic block-level container),
"default-role" (role used for `backtick` syntax), "title" (document title
metadata), and "date" (generate the current local date, for substitution
definitions).
* Length units are now supported for image sizes.
* Added standard definition files for special characters etc.
Internationalization:
* Added Japanese and Simplified Chinese language mappings, and support for
double-width CJK-characters in tables and section titles.
Documentation:
* Added a guide for distributors (package maintainers) and a guide for
developers.
General:
* Added significant Emacs support for reST.
* Added a --strip-comments option.
* --embed-stylesheet is now the default for the HTML writer (rather than
--link-stylesheet).
Major changes since Docutils 0.3.5:
A special "line block" syntax useful for addresses, verse, and other cases
of significant line breaks has been added (also refer to the reStructuredText
Markup Specification).
Empty sections are now allowed.
A "raw" role has been added.
The LaTeX writer now escapes consecutive dashes (like "--" or "---") so that
they are no longer transformed by LaTeX to en or em dashes. If you want to
write en or em dashes using pure ASCII, please refer to the FAQ entry about
non-ASCII characters.
A dependency recorder has been added.
A directive has been added for compound paragraphs.
Many other improvements and bug fixes; see the history file of Docutils 0.3.7
at http://docutils.sourceforge.net/0.3.7/HISTORY.html.
Moved maintainership to myself as discussed with minsikkim@.
The purpose of the Docutils project is to create a set of tools
for processing plaintext documentation into useful formats, such
as HTML, XML, and TeX.
