I just Googled for "restructuredtext" (it's fun and educational to do this
once in a while) and found an interesting thread started by Jim Fulton:
"[Zope3-dev] FWIW: I endorse reStructuredText"
<http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope3-dev/2003-February/005420.html>.
Quote:
I hereby decree that Zope3 doc strings and text documentation
files should be in reStructuredText format.
The thread goes on to debate filename extensions, ".txt" vs. ".rst".
FWIW, the "official" statement is in item 2.4 of
<http://docutils.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html>. Of course, any application is
free to set its own standard, especially if it serves a useful purpose for
processing.
