Plugin should only render reStructuredText documents (not any type) about gedit-rest-plugin HOT 5 CLOSED

Works fine. Thank you (even with python2 on RHEL-7 with gedit-3.22.0-3).

Strange that I never noticed that. Looks like I've always tested with .rst files only! 😧

I don't like the idea of an if filetype == 'reST':, there should be a way to have the plugin being hit only when the reST markup is activated. Though, markup and rendering isn't necessarily the same thing, hmmm...

Whatever the solution may look like, file a PR and we'll discuss it.

Rendering Works For Buffers, Not Only Files

Note that rendering of reStructuredText is not done only for saved files in this plugin. You can open a blank text view/window and type reStructuredText syntax, and the plugin will generate HTML and display it in the bottom panel.

You can also select only a part of your text document (e.g. a code snippet in an article about reST), and have it rendered in the reStructuredText viewer panel (only the selection is fed to docutils/Sphinx for converting it to HTML).

I don’t like if filetype == 'reST': either (I would a way prefer clean Emacs/vim style of filetype modes), but I don’t see how to do it cleanly with gedit. But I really don’t like my Python code being processed as reSt as well.

I'm trying to implement the if filetype == 'reST' feature now.

Anyone having any idea of where to get the filetype from?

The API docs for plugin development suggest that there is only access to the MIME type. Unfortunately, this is always text/plain, which doesn't help much.
