||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | This is a redmine plugin for supporting reStructuredText as a wiki format using either the "RbST reStructuredText gem":http://rdoc.info/projects/autodata/rbst, which can convert all RST but is slow, or "PandocRuby":http://rdoc.info/projects/autodata/pandoc-ruby, which only supports a subset of RST but is fast. |

| 9 | h4. RbST/docutils version (master branch) |
||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | This is potentially quite slow. RbST processes reStructuredText via Python's docutils, and docutils is slow. As far as I can tell, Redmine always formats text using a helper on each request, which means this plugin will likely add a few tenths of a second to each request, possibly more. On my machine, normal views take 450-550ms to render with the default textile option and 650-750 with this plugin. Heavily marked-up pages like the "RST cheat sheet":http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/cheatsheet.txt bumps it up to 1.2s. I wouldn't recommend this for public-facing pages, but it's probably OK for private Redmine instances. |
||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | h4. PandocRuby version (pandoc-ruby branch) |
||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | Pandoc is much faster than docutils and should be roughly as fast as the native textile, but it only supports a subset of RST, so some features like tables are not available. This version is available on the `pandoc-ruby` branch. |
