This enables minirst to parse and print option lists which have both
long and short options. Before, we could only parse option lists with
long options.
Text can be grouped into generic containers in reStructuredText:
.. container:: foo
This is text inside a "foo" container.
.. container:: bar
This is nested inside two containers.
The minirst parser now recognizes these containers. The containers are
either pruned completely from the output (included all nested blocks)
or they are simply un-indented. So if 'foo' and 'bar' containers are
kept, the above example will result in:
This is text inside a "foo" container.
This is nested inside two containers.
If only 'foo' containers are kept, we get:
This is text inside a "foo" container.
No output is made if only 'bar' containers are kept.
This feature will come in handy for implementing different levels of
help output (e.g., verbose and debug level help texts).
Before, we used the padding following the key to compute where to wrap
the text. Long keys would thus give a big indentation. It also
required careful alignment of the source text, making it cumbersome to
items to the list.
We now compute the maximum key length and use that for all items in
the list. We also put a cap on the indentation: keys longer than 10
characters are put on their own line. This is similar to how rst2html
handles large keys: it uses 14 as the cutoff point, but I felt that 10
was better for monospaced text in the console.
Input such as
Only the
left-most line
(this line!)
is significant
for the indentation
is not valid reStructuredText: the first line starts a block quote,
but then the second line is not allowed to be unindented.
The vast majority* of them are formatted like this in the source, so
this basically reverts the output to how it looked before we got the
minirst parser.
*: the help on templating use four spaces for some examples and will
now shown with an indentation of just two spaces.
