## This module implements a generator of HTML/Latex from
## `reStructuredText`:idx: (see http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html for
## information on this markup syntax). You can generate HTML output through the
## convenience proc ``rstToHtml``, which provided an input string with rst
## markup returns a string with the generated HTML. The final output is meant
## to be embedded inside a full document you provide yourself, so it won't
## contain the usual ``<header>`` or ``<body>`` parts.
##
## You can also create a ``TRstGenerator`` structure and populate it with the
## other lower level methods to finally build complete documents. This requires
## many options and tweaking, but you are not limited to snippets and can
## generate `LaTeX documents <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX>`_ too.

## Initializes a ``TRstGenerator``.
##
## You need to call this before using a ``TRstGenerator`` with any other
## procs in this module. Pass a non ``nil`` ``PStringTable`` value as
## ``config`` with parameters used by the HTML output generator. If you
## don't know what to use, pass the results of the ``defaultConfig()`` proc.
## The ``filename`` is symbolic and used only for error reporting, you can
## pass any non ``nil`` string here.
##
## The ``TRstParseOptions``, ``TFindFileHandler`` and ``TMsgHandler`` types
## are defined in the the `packages/docutils/rst module <rst.html>`_.
## ``options`` selects the behaviour of the rst parser.
##
## ``findFile`` is a proc used by the rst ``include`` directive among others.
## The purpose of this proc is to mangle or filter paths. It receives paths
## specified in the rst document and has to return a valid path to existing
## files or the empty string otherwise. If you pass ``nil``, a default proc
## will be used which given a path returns the input path only if the file
## exists. One use for this proc is to transform relative paths found in the
## document to absolute path, useful if the rst file and the resources it
## references are not in the same directory as the current working directory.
##
## The ``msgHandler`` is a proc used for user error reporting. It will be
## called with the filename, line, col, and type of any error found during
## parsing. If you pass ``nil``, a default message handler will be used which
## writes the messages to the standard output.
##
## Example:
##
## .. code-block:: nimrod
##
## import packages/docutils/rstgen
##
## var gen: TRstGenerator
##
## gen.initRstGenerator(outHtml, defaultConfig(),
## "filename", {}, nil, nil)

## This convenience proc parses any input string using rst markup (it doesn't
## have to be a full document!) and returns an embeddable piece of HTML. The
## proc is meant to be used in *online* environments without access to a

## output you have to create your own ``TRstGenerator`` with
