Description

Pages using #format rst have the wrong HTML tags generated for headings. The sequence generated for level 1, 2, and 3 headings is: <h1>, <h3>, <h4>, ...), skipping the <h2> level tag.

For wiki-format markup pages, the HTML heading tags a generated as expected (<h1>, <h2>, <h3>, ...).

Steps to reproduce

1. Show that a reStructuredText formatted page skips the <h2> tag. Enter this into a wiki page:

   #format rst
   
   Level 1 Heading
   ===============
   
   Some text.
   
   Level 2 Heading
   ---------------
   
   More text.
   
   Level 3 Heading
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   
   Blah blah blah.

   It produces this HTML:

   <div dir="ltr" id="preview" lang="en"><span class="anchor" id="top-1"></span>
   <h1>Level 1 Heading</h1>
   <p>Some text.</p>
   <div class="section">
   <h3><a id="level-2-heading" name="level-2-heading">Level 2 Heading</a></h3>
   <p>More text.</p>
   <div class="section">
   <h4><a id="level-3-heading" name="level-3-heading">Level 3 Heading</a></h4>
   <p>Blah blah blah.</p>
   </div>
   </div>

   Note that the level 2 heading is generated with an <h3> tag.

2. Compare with the same page written using wiki markup. Enter the following as a wiki page:

   #format wiki
   
   = Level 1 Heading =
   
   Some text.
   
   == Level 2 Heading ==
   
   More text.
   
   === Level 3 Heading ===
   
   Blah blah blah.

   It produces this HTML:

   <h1 id="Level1Heading">Level 1 Heading</h1>
   <span class="anchor" id="line-4"></span>
   <span class="anchor" id="line-5"></span><p class="line874">Some text. 
   <span class="anchor" id="line-6"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-7"></span></p>
   <p class="line867"></p>
   <h2 id="Level2Heading">Level 2 Heading</h2>
   <span class="anchor" id="line-8"></span>
   <span class="anchor" id="line-9"></span>
   <p class="line874">More text. 
   <span class="anchor" id="line-10">
   </span><span class="anchor" id="line-11"></span></p>
   <p class="line867">
   </p><h3 id="Level3Heading">Level 3 Heading</h3>
   <span class="anchor" id="line-12">
   </span><span class="anchor" id="line-13"></span>
   <p class="line874">Blah blah blah. 
   <span class="anchor" id="line-14"></span>
   <span class="anchor" id="bottom"></span></p>

   Note that with the wiki-marked up page, the level 2 heading is generated with an <h2> tag as expected.

Example

See "Steps to reproduce" above for the example.

Component selection

• rst parser or HTML generator (reStructuredText format parser)

Workaround

Live with poorly formatted pages (level 2 headings (really level 3!) are way too small!) or use wiki markup instead of reStructuredText.

Discussion

I will take a look at the MoinMoin source myself and see if it is simple enough that a Python/MoinMoin novice like me can fix it. -- ColinBennett 2008-07-30 18:55:15
