A viewer for ReStructuredText documents that renders them on the fly.
Pass the name of a ReStructuredText document to restview, and it will launch a web server on localhost:random-port and open a web browser. Every time you reload the page, restview will reload the document from disk and render it. This is very convenient for previewing a document while you're editing it.
You can also pass the name of a directory, and restview will recursively look for files that end in .txt or .rst and present you with a list.
$ restview [options] /path/to/filename.txt
restview can also serve a listing of all txt and rst files in a directory tree.
$ restview [options] /path/to/directory
Options:
-l LISTEN, --listen=LISTEN
listen on a given port (or interface:port, e.g.
*:8080) [default: random port on localhost]
-b, --browser open a web browser [default: only if -l was not
specified]
restview is available from Cheeseshop: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/restview. You can also easy_install it.
You will need docutils and, optionally, pygments.
You can check out the latest version from my Bazaar repository:
bzr branch lp:restview
Or you can browse the repository with a Web browser.
