(waiting for feedback about the syntax to use from rST for InterTrac links)

[Christian Boos]

Replying to ​eblot:

InterTrac syntax would be `project:wiki:WikiPage`:trac: Alternative syntax could be `WikiPage`:trac:project: I don't know whether the rST engine support ':', but you get the idea, something easier to type and read.

`WikiPage`:trac:project: wouldn't be practical to implement, as this would require registering all the intertrac prefixes as reST directives.

OTOH, `project:wiki:WikiPage`:trac: is quite simple to support and to explain: there's only the :trac: directive, and its argument can be any TracLinks.

The attachment:rst_trac_links-r3592.patch​ uses the standard link parser instead of the few special cases that were hard-coded so far. This not only simplifies the code, but also adds support for all the TracLinks (InterTrac and InterWiki links included).

Simplify and generalize the :trac: directive for reST

Patch applied in r3610.
