description |
This is a small vim extension to help making sections in restructured text
documents.
It's very closely based on the nice https://github.com/nvie/vim-rst-tables
extension by Vincent Driessen. It includes some of Vincents's code from
https://github.com/nvie/vim_bridge.
The latest version of the code for this plugin is at:
https://github.com/matthew-brett/vim-rst-sections
You'll need python compiled into your vim for it to work (`:version` in vim will
tell you).
*******
License
*******
I could not see a license for ``vim-rst-tables`` on which this is based.
``vim-bridge`` is BSD licensed, as is this code.
Assuming that that the ``vim-rst-tables`` code is in the public domain or BSD
licensed, I (Matthew Brett) release this code under the 2-clause BSD license.
The full text is in the ``LICENSE`` file in the same directory as this README.
Thanks to Vincent Driessen for sharing.

In use
******
Once you've installed the extension, then you can access it with your
``<leader>`` key in vim. I believe the default is ``\``, for me it is mapped to
``,``. You can also call the various functions directly with commands such as
``:call RstSectionStandardize()`` - see below.
************************************
Conventional standard section markup
************************************
The script mostly assumes that you are using, or want to use, the section
headings that the python documents use - see
http://sphinx.pocoo.org/rest.html#sections . In summary, the convention is:
* ``#`` with overline, for parts
* ``*`` with overline, for chapters
* ``=``, for sections
* ``-``, for subsections
* ``^``, for subsubsections
* ``"``, for paragraphs
************************************************
Autoconverting section markers to the convention
************************************************
If you aren't using these conventions already, and you want to be able to use
``rst-sections`` in a happy way, you may be able to automatically change to use
these conventions using the ``RstSectionStandardize`` vim function provided by
this extension. Open the document you want to change, then run this::
call RstSectionStandardize()
The same function should also be accessible with the key combination
``<leader><leader>p`` ("p" for Python standard sections).
*******************
Making new sections
*******************
Imagine you've just started a document. You type this::
A big overall section
While the cursor is on that line, type ``<leader><leader>d`` (for me that is
``,,d``). ``d`` is for 'down', you may see why later. When you do this, you
should get the top section heading formatting::
#####################
A big overall section
#####################
Then write some more text. Add another section below:
A subsection for the big one
Type (for me) ``,,d`` and you get the top-level '#' under and overlining. That
is, you get the same level as the nearest section above you. Type
``,,d`` again and you go Down a level in the heirarchy to::
****************************
A subsection for the big one
****************************
Now, with the cursor in the same place, try ``,,u`` (Up). Notice that the
heading level goes Up one level to the top level in the heirarchy again::
############################
A subsection for the big one
############################
So, if you are on a line that is not currently a section, then either of ``,,d``
or ``,,u`` will format the line with the same section level as the nearest
section above you (or the top level if there is no section above you). However,
pressing ``,,d`` on an existing section heading, will take you down a level in
the heirarchy, and pressing ``,,u`` will take you up a level in the heirarchy.
***************************
Reformatting section markup
***************************
Let's say you edited your section title, so now the heading isn't aligned with
the text anymore::
############################
A section for the big one
############################
Yes, you've guessed it, ``,,r`` on the section or the underlining will reformat
for you::
#########################
A section for the big one
######################### |
