            |  | 3 | Trac supports using ''reStructuredText'' (RST) as an alternative to wiki markup in any context WikiFormatting is used. |

            |  | 6 | "''reStructuredText is an easy-to-read, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup syntax and parser   system. It is useful for in-line program documentation (such as Python docstrings), for quickly creating  simple web pages, and for standalone documents. reStructuredText is designed for extensibility for  specific application domains.

            |  | 8 | === Requirements === | 
          
            |  | 9 | Note that to activate RST support in Trac, the python docutils package must be installed. | 
          
            |  | 10 | If not already available on your operating system, you can download it at the [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html RST Website]. |

            |  | 19 | == Using RST in Trac == | 
          
            |  | 20 | To specify that a block of text should be parsed using RST, use the ''rst'' processor. | 
          
            |  | 21 |  | 
          
            |  | 22 | === TracLinks in reStructuredText === | 
          
            |  | 23 |  | 
          
            |  | 24 | * Trac provides a custom RST reference-directive 'trac' to allow TracLinks from within RST text. | 
          
            |  | 25 |  |
