[Docutils-users] How to get rst preview tools on CentOS7?

[David M. Karr]

I'm just starting to look at ReST. I'll likely be editing rst files in
Emacs, although I could use Eclipse if a suitable editor was available.
As it's just simple text formatting, I could probably get by with a
plain text view in Eclipse if I had to. The Emacs mode appears to be a
little more functional.

What I can't figure out is how to get the various RST preview tools,
like "rst2pdf". I see that "rst2pdf" is available on Ubuntu, but I
don't see it in the default repos for CentOS7.

Try to run

yum list \*docutil\*

That's where plenty of rST related programs are packaged.

How many Bavarian Illuminati does it take to screw in a light
bulb?
Three: one to screw it in, and one to confuse the issue.

I probably use

docutils-common: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/rst.el

On "C-c C-t C-t" it shows TOC for easy navigation and on "C-c C-=" it fixes
and cycles through header declarations.

I never use any other commands. Full command list is available on C-h m.

I miss indenting and text wrapping in definition list declaration but except
this and syntax highlighting issues in "verbatim" text it works fine

I don't use RH, just make web search for Debian "apt-file" alternative:

sudo yum install yum-utils
repoquery --whatprovides '*bin/rst2pdf'

In this way you be able to find any package that contain specific file. See:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1133495/how-do-i-find-which-rpm-package-supplies-a-file-im-looking-for

While I build RST files with GNU make there are command C-c C-c C-c
(M-x rst-compile).

If you work with Java (I assume that because you are mentioning Eclipse) it is
possible to build Java project documentation in Maven project with:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.nuiton.jrst</groupId>
<artifactId>doxia-module-jrst</artifactId>
<version>1.5</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>

On Debian 'rst2pdf' is provided by external project:

$ apt-file search bin/rst2pdf
rst2pdf: /usr/bin/rst2pdf

$ apt-cache show rst2pdf
Version: 0.93-4
Maintainer: Elena Grandi <valhalla-***@trueelena.org>
Homepage: http://code.google.com/p/rst2pdf/

It seems that docutils team is not responsible for that utility.

You should contact RH/CentOS packaging team and ask them for inclusion of
rst2pdf utility.

================================================================

I managed to install CentOS in LXC container:

sudo lxc-create -t centos -n centos2 -- --release 6.8
sudo lxc-create -t centos -n centos2 -- --release 7

Even "yum" utility provide built-in ability to query for packages which have
certain files:

[***@centos media]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.8 (Final)

[***@centos media]# yum whatprovides '*/bin/rst2pdf*'

rst2pdf is part of Fedora/EPEL ...
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/rst2pdf/

You just file a bug against the package asking for what you
want. Of course, you may be asked to maitain the branch
yourself, in which case, welcome to the Fedora packaging world!
