[Docutils-users] Bug report

I am trying to convert a RST file into TWIKI, using Cygwin:

This seems to be a missing feature in the "twiki" writer:

Please note that TWiki only implements a very small subset of
DocUtils's markup features. Thus, the script is by necessity a bit of a
hack. It is of course possible to simply use HTML to "fill in the
gaps", but this would altogether defeat the purpose of TWiki markup.
Instead, errors are given whenever an unimplemented feature of
ReStructured Text is used in the document.

Are tables supported in TWiki?

Mind, that rst2twiki is not part of Docutils but an external add-on.

*$ rst2twiki.py --version*
rst2twiki.py (Docutils 0.12 [repository], Python 2.7.3, on cygwin)

This output is somewhat misleading: rst2twiki builds on Docutils and it
seems that the wrapper script rst2twiki.py is modelled after the wrapper
scripts provided with Docutils.
