Is there a reStructuredText markup editor for eclipse [closed]

Question

Is there a WiKiText editor plugin for reStructuredText under eclipse? When I edit a .textile file, I get various intelligent editing features (such as line folding) and a preview panel. I find that there are references to reStructuredText under various MyLyn packages, but after installing them I still can't find a reStructuredText editor. Is that because there isn't one?

Thanks. Kent

Answer 1

Probably this answer is too late, but yet it is worth to add it for future readers :)

There is an "official" list of editors here: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/links.html

One of the tools mentioned is the Eclipse plugin indeed: http://resteditor.sourceforge.net/. I've been using it for few days only (I'm also researching in this direction now :) ), but so far so good.

P.S. I haven't been able to install the "color theme mapper" for that plugin - so should you have troubles installing that plugin - uncheck the "color theme mapper" when installing it from update site.

Answer 2

There is the ReST Editor plugin for eclipse.

It works really well and he provide an integration with Eclipse Color Theme (Use the update site to install the Eclipse Color Theme integration).

Answer 3

There is no ReST plugin, but you can make one yourself, as example using Colorer.

Colorer has an API for new language descriptions, and there's a plugin for Eclipse.

There's even an example on how to add new languages to Eclipse this way. It is very easy :-)

If you don't know the ReST syntax specifications, you can take these as a reference:

• Plugin for GEdit
• Plugin for VIM

You just need to translate these to the Colorer syntax and you'll have ReST highlighting in Eclipse.
