"""simplified reStructuredText parser. This parser knows just enough about reStructuredText to parse the Mercurial docstrings. It cheats in a major way: nested blocks are not really nested. They are just indented blocks that look like they are nested. This relies on the user to keep the right indentation for the blocks. It only supports a small subset of reStructuredText: - sections - paragraphs - literal blocks - definition lists - bullet lists (items must start with '-') - enumerated lists (no autonumbering) - field lists (colons cannot be escaped) - option lists (supports only long options without arguments) - inline literals (no other inline markup is not recognized) """ import re, sys, textwrap def findblocks(text): """Find continuous blocks of lines in text.
