TracLinks directives in reStructuredText

[daniel]

reStructuredText (RST) is quite easy to extend with custom directives.

It would probably be a good thing to incorporate TracLinks into RST by creating a trac directive for hyperlinking within Trac from RST text.

Example:

.. trac:: [42]
.. trac:: #43
.. trac:: browser:trunk/foo/bar

Test case:

[42]

#42

{42}

browser:trunk/foo/bar

Maybe in Trac 0.7

Ollie has already written an implementation of the directives:

• ​http://newtonsplace.net/trac.py
• ​http://newtonsplace.net/test.txt
• ​http://newtonsplace.net/test.html

I'll test it some more and merge it asap.

Cool stuff. Ollie!

Merged and fixed in [422].
