I wrote a RestructuredText plugin for Dokuwiki that means (not
surprisingly!) that you can use RestructuredText markup in Dokuwiki.
You can even simply name a text file with a .rst suffix and the plugin
will recognise it and treat the whole file as RestructuredText, no
need for any Dokuwiki markup at all within the text.
The plugin is available from the Dokuwiki site:-
https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:rst
It says it's not been updated in more than 2 years which is true but I
think it still works OK, if not I'm happy to fix it if needed.
Does this help any? RestructuredText is more like MarkDown than
Dokuwiki markup is, I think.
It was a very simple plugin to write, you might find it easy to copy
and change to work with MarkDown. Is there a simple single executable
program to convert MarkDown to HTML (as there is for RestructuredText)?
