The ReStructuredText viewer is software that allows easy viewing of text written in ReStructuredText format. It is designed to be user-friendly and provides an efficient way to read and edit the formatted text.
Restview is an excellent viewer for ReStructuredText documents, enabling you to render them on the go. Simply pass a ReStructuredText document's name to restview, and it will automatically launch a web server on localhost:random-port while simultaneously opening a web browser. Restview allows you to reload the page, effectively reloading the document from disk and rendering it. This convenience is particularly useful when previewing a document while editing it.
Moreover, you can also pass the name of a directory, and restview will do a recursive search for files ending with .txt or .rst, providing you with a list. The command usage is simple and straightforward: $ restview [options] /path/to/filename.txt.
Restview provides further functional benefits, serving a listing of all txt and rst files in a directory tree. You can accomplish this by running the following command: $ restview [options] /path/to/directory.
Restview offers different options to customize your viewer, including the ability to listen on a specific port with the -l LISTEN argument or a given interface and port combination with the -b argument. By default, restview will only open a web browser if -l is not specified.
In conclusion, Restview is an excellent tool for anyone who frequently works with ReStructuredText documents, offering an unmatched level of convenience, efficiency, and customization to meet all your needs.
