ReStructuredText to XAML for WPF and Silverlight / Moonlight
Project description
A XAML writer from reStructured Text source.
The goal is to be able to write out FlowDocument XAML from ReST documents for use in WPF and Silverlight / Moonlight projects.
It includes a Pygments formatter for outputting a syntax highlighted XAML representation of source code.
rst2xaml itself runs under CPython, but the generated XAML is intended for use from IronPython (or any other .NET language). There is an example IronPython script for displaying the generated XAML using a WPF FlowDocumentReader.
Requirements
rst2xaml depends on:
Tested with Python 2.5 and 2.6, but probably works fine under Python 2.4.
The Silverlight output is intended to work with Moonlight (the equivalent of Silverlight 2) and Silverlight 3. Let me know if there are any problems.
Current status
The docutils writer for both FlowDocument and Silverlight XAML can currently handle the following markup features:
title and headings
paragraphs
bold
italics
literal blocks
inline literals
line blocks
bullet lists
enumerated lists
blockquotes
the raw:: xaml directive
the pygments code-block directive
In addition the FlowDocument output can handle superscript, although that only works for fonts that support it.
Nested enumerated lists don’t yet work correctly for either FlowDocument or Silverlight output.
Scripts
There are three scripts that come with rst2xaml:
python rst2xaml.py source.txt output.xaml python rst2xamlsl.py silverlight-source.txt silverlight-output.xaml ipy.exe display_xaml.py output.xaml
If display_xaml.py is run without a command line argument it will open a file dialog for you to choose a xaml file to display.
Tests
The tests use the discover module, which is included in the repository for convenience. You run the tests with:
python discover.py
Development
The development version of rst2xaml is hosted on a google project page:
