[Docutils-users] CSS class CamelCase

[Thyfate]

Hi to all,

I am using RestructuredText to generate the page contents of my website using
the :class: directive to add styles to elements. However, I cannot use the
animation css classes from https://daneden.me/animate/ because the css class
names are camelcased and docutils converts the class names to lowercase.

Is there an easy way to prevent this behavior ?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately not. Class arguments are normalized to conform to the
regular expression [a-z](-?[a-z0-9]+)* by converting

alphabetic characters to lowercase,
accented characters to the base character,
non-alphanumeric characters to hyphens,
consecutive hyphens into one hyphen.

http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#class

Options are:

* Use a local copy of the css stylesheet with lowercase class names,
* post-process the html file,
* use raw HTML (ugly),
* modify the docutils code (find out where the normalization is done, write
an normalization function that skips the downcasing, call this function
instead of the default one in the "class" directive or wherever it is
called, ... ),
* ...(?)
