This plugin reads "`*.rst`" files and converts them to HTML.

"RST" is the abbreviation for
[[reStructuredText|http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html]], a format
common for many python programmers. The plugin "`read_rst.py`" uses the
standard Python module "`docutils`" to convert RST into HTML. A sample
"`test.rst`" document looks like this:

	title: Impressum

	|Mario Marionetti
	|10, Mariott St
