Is [prest][1] the perl version of the reST processor referred to in the text?
It seems to be reasonably well-maintained to me, and differences between it and
"standard" reST are pretty minor (a fairly exhaustive list, taken from the
prest docs, is at the end of this page).

In addition, reST appears to allow raw HTML pass-through with the `raw`
directive, though I think a better solution would be expanding the format plugin
interface. --Ethan
An exhaustive list of differences between prest and "standard" reST follows:
* fewer alternatives for bullet lists (only "+", "*" and "-")
* escaped colons are not allowed in field names
* RCS keyword processing is only activated on "recognized bibliographic
field names"
* multiple consecutive blockquotes seperated by attributions may not be allowed
(not sure; text could be interpreted either way)
* a warning about auto-symbol footnotes is missing (maybe it's not relevant?)
* colons are allowed within hyperlink reference names
* inline markup can be nested
* some directives are missing (epigraph, highlights, pull quote, date) and
some have been added (MathML, code execution (disabled by default), enscript)
* container directive now uses "class" instead of "classes"
* csv directive doesn't require csv.py
* references directive doesn't allow options
There may be a few others; my eyes glazed over. --Ethan
