## ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
## Nim-flavored reStructuredText
## ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
##
## This module implements a `reStructuredText`:idx: (RST) parser.
## A large subset is implemented with some limitations_ and
## `Nim-specific features`_.
## A few `extra features`_ of the `Markdown`:idx: syntax are
## also supported.
##
## Nim can output the result to HTML [#html]_ or Latex [#latex]_.
##
## .. [#html] commands ``nim doc`` for ``*.nim`` files and
##    ``nim rst2html`` for ``*.rst`` files
##
## .. [#latex] command ``nim rst2tex`` for ``*.rst``.
##
## If you are new to RST please consider reading the following:
##
## 1) a short `quick introduction`_
## 2) an `RST reference`_: a comprehensive cheatsheet for RST
## 3) a more formal 50-page `RST specification`_.
##
## Features
## --------
##
## Supported standard RST features:
##
## * body elements
##   + sections
##   + transitions
##   + paragraphs
##   + bullet lists using \+, \*, \-
##   + enumerated lists using arabic numerals or alphabet
##     characters:  1. ... 2. ... *or* a. ... b. ... *or* A. ... B. ...
##   + footnotes (including manually numbered, auto-numbered, auto-numbered
##     with label, and auto-symbol footnotes) and citations
##   + definition lists
##   + field lists
##   + option lists
##   + indented literal blocks
##   + simple tables
##   + directives (see official documentation in `RST directives list`_):
##     - ``image``, ``figure`` for including images and videos
##     - ``code``
##     - ``contents`` (table of contents), ``container``, ``raw``
##     - ``include``
##     - admonitions: "attention", "caution", "danger", "error", "hint",
##       "important", "note", "tip", "warning", "admonition"
##     - substitution definitions: `replace` and `image`
##   + comments
## * inline markup
##   + *emphasis*, **strong emphasis**,
##     ``inline literals``, hyperlink references (including embedded URI),
##     substitution references, standalone hyperlinks,
##     internal links (inline and outline)
##   + \`interpreted text\` with roles ``:literal:``, ``:strong:``,
##     ``emphasis``, ``:sub:``/``:subscript:``, ``:sup:``/``:supscript:``
##     (see `RST roles list`_ for description).
##   + inline internal targets
##
## .. _`Nim-specific features`:
##
## Additional Nim-specific features:
##
## * directives: ``code-block`` [cmp:Sphinx]_, ``title``,
##   ``index`` [cmp:Sphinx]_
##
## * ***triple emphasis*** (bold and italic) using \*\*\*
## * ``:idx:`` role for \`interpreted text\` to include the link to this
##   text into an index (example: `Nim index`_).
##
## .. [cmp:Sphinx] similar but different from the directives of
##    Python `Sphinx directives`_ extensions
##
## .. _`extra features`:
##
## Optional additional features, turned on by ``options: RstParseOption`` in
## `rstParse proc <#rstParse,string,string,int,int,bool,RstParseOptions,FindFileHandler,MsgHandler>`_:
##
## * emoji / smiley symbols
## * Markdown tables
## * Markdown code blocks
## * Markdown links
## * Markdown headlines
## * using ``1`` as auto-enumerator in enumerated lists like RST ``#``
##   (auto-enumerator ``1`` can not be used with ``#`` in the same list)
##
## .. Note:: By default Nim has ``roSupportMarkdown`` and
##    ``roSupportRawDirective`` turned **on**.
##
## .. warning:: Using Nim-specific features can cause other RST implementations
##   to fail on your document.
##
## Limitations
## -----------
##
## * no Unicode support in character width calculations
## * body elements
##   - no roman numerals in enumerated lists
##   - no quoted literal blocks
##   - no doctest blocks
##   - no grid tables
##   - some directives are missing (check official `RST directives list`_):
##     ``parsed-literal``, ``sidebar``, ``topic``, ``math``, ``rubric``,
##     ``epigraph``, ``highlights``, ``pull-quote``, ``compound``,
##     ``table``, ``csv-table``, ``list-table``, ``section-numbering``,
##     ``header``, ``footer``, ``meta``, ``class``
##     - no ``role`` directives and no custom interpreted text roles
##     - some standard roles are not supported (check `RST roles list`_)
## * inline markup
##   - no simple-inline-markup
##   - no embedded aliases
##
## Usage
## -----
##
## See `Nim DocGen Tools Guide <docgen.html>`_ for the details about
## ``nim doc``, ``nim rst2html`` and ``nim rst2tex`` commands.
##
## See `packages/docutils/rstgen module <rstgen.html>`_ to know how to
## generate HTML or Latex strings to embed them into your documents.
##
## .. Tip:: Import ``packages/docutils/rst`` to use this module
##    programmatically.

  ## Code blocks are rnDirective trees with a `kind` of rnCodeBlock. See the
  ## description of ``parseDirective`` for further structure information.
  ##
  ## Code blocks can come in two forms, the standard `code directive
  ## <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#code>`_ and
  ## the nim extension ``.. code-block::``. If the block is an extension, we
  ## want the default language syntax highlighting to be Nim, so we create a
  ## fake internal field to communicate with the generator. The field is named
  ## ``default-language``, which is unlikely to collide with a field specified
  ## by any random rst input file.
  ##
  ## As an extension this proc will process the ``file`` extension field and if
  ## present will replace the code block with the contents of the referenced
  ## file.
