Description

Hi. This example from WikiRestructuredText is not working:

{{{
#!rst
 This is a reference to |a ticket|

 .. |a ticket| trac:: #42
}}}

This is a reference to #12

Also this one is not working with docutils-0.5 anymore. Perhaps this should be noted on TracInstall.

comment:2 by Remy Blank, 16 years ago

After a lot of digging, I found that this is a regression due to the fix for #1302. The fix involved wrapping a reference in a paragraph, because references don't work as children of a document. But it seems that you can't have a substitution return a paragraph. If I remove the wrapping into a paragraph, substitutions work again, but not references.

I'm a bit puzzled about the correct way to handle that. Should I try to detect when the returned item will be a child of the document? This smells fishy. I'll try to see if I can use another wrapper that works in all situations.

Ok, I got it. Here's what the docutils documentation says about directives:

For ordinary directives, the list must contain body elements or structural elements. Some directives are intended specifically for substitution definitions, and must return a list of Text nodes and/or inline elements (suitable for inline insertion, in place of the substitution reference). Such directives must verify substitution definition context, typically using code like this:

if not isinstance(state, states.SubstitutionDef):
    error = state_machine.reporter.error(
        'Invalid context: the "%s" directive can only be used '
        'within a substitution definition.' % (name),
        nodes.literal_block(block_text, block_text), line=lineno)
    return [error]

So I added a context check in [7759]. It also fixes the exception mentioned in the ticket description, by returning a list of nodes instead of a node.

Sorry, you can't say that from looking at this ticket's description: this is simply docutils not being enabled yet on this site (there has been a server upgrade lately).

If you have your own Trac using 0.11.3 and have installed and enabled docutils, then it's a different story. But then you'll have something interesting written in your Trac log. Please attach the relevant debug output.

Setting log_level to DEBUG got it… I forgot the -E flag for pip/virtualenv.

…Mondays.

Thanks for your help and a great product.
