Text::...::Rest(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Text::Markup::Rest — the reStructuredText parser for Text::Markup, bestie 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Text::Markup;
my $html = Text::Markup->new->parse(file => 'hello.rst');

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this is literally the reStructuredText parser for Text::Markup 💖 The reST spec lives at <https://docutils.sourceforge.io/rst.html> if you wanna go read it (iykyk).

It depends on the docutils Python package — the way that it's not a Perl thing at all, it's out here outsourcing to Python 😭. You can find it as python3-docutils in many Linux distributions, or you can just install it yourself with the command:

pip install docutils

It recognizes files with the following extensions as reST:

.rest
.rst

ngl, if you wanna change the files it recognizes, you load this module directly and hand it a regular expression matching whatever extension(s) you want, like this:

use Text::Markup::Rest qr{re?st(?:aurant)};

fr fr, that's the whole vibe — you control which extensions get matched, the module does the rest 🫶
