spec/ to docs/dev.

- docutils/parsers/rst/roles.py: Added to project. Contains
interpreted text role functions, a registry for interpreted text
roles, and an API for adding to and retrieving from the registry.
Contributed by Edward Loper.
- docutils/parsers/rst/states.py:
- Updated RSTState.nested_parse for "include" in table cells.
- Allowed true em-dash character and "---" as block quote
attribution marker.
- Added support for <angle-bracketed> complex option arguments
(option lists).
- Fixed handling of backslashes in substitution definitions.
- Fixed off-by-1 error with extra whitespace after substitution
definition directive.
- Added inline markup parsing to field lists' field names.
- Added support for quoted (and unindented) literal blocks.
Driven in part by a bribe from Frank Siebenlist (thanks!).

- Made embedded-URIs' reference text omittable. Idea from Beni
Cherniavsky.
- Refactored explicit target processing code.
- Added name attribute to references containing the reference name only
through whitespace_normalize_name (no case changes).
- parse_target no longer returns the refname after going through
normalize_name. This is now handled in make_target.
- Fixed bug relating to role-less interpreted text in non-English
contexts.
- Reorganized interpreted text processing; moved code into the new
roles.py module. Contributed by Edward Loper.
- Refactored Body.parse_directive into run_directive and
parse_directive_block.
- docutils/parsers/rst/tableparser.py:
- Reworked for StringList, to support "include" directives in
table cells.

through whitespace_normalize_name (no case changes).

problems on SourceForge (libssl.so.2 unavailable?).
- Added the "role" directive for declaring custom interpreted text
roles.
- docutils/parsers/rst/directives/parts.py:
- The "contents" directive does more work up-front, creating the
"topic" and "title", and leaving the "pending" node for the
transform. Allows earlier reference resolution; fixes subtle bug.
- docutils/parsers/rst/languages/af.py: Added to project; Afrikaans
mappings by Jannie Hofmeyr.

mappings by Marek Blaha.

transform. Allows earlier reference resolution; fixes subtle bug.

- docutils/transforms/references.py:
- Verifying that external targets are truly targets and not indirect
references. This is because we are now adding a "name" attribute to
references in addition to targets. Note sure if this is correct!

transformer in resolve_indirect_target. This allows the
unknown_reference_resolvers to keep around indirect targets which

- Added FilterMessages transform (removes system messages below the
verbosity threshold).

access to a documents individual parts.

- Fixed unicode handling of attribute values (bug 760673).
- Prevent duplication of "class" attribute values (bug report from
Kirill Lapshin).
- Improved table grid/border handling (prompted by report from Bob
Marshall).
- Added support for table titles.

- Added proper support for the "scale" attribute of the "image"
element. Contributed by Brent Cook.

docinfo; if no docinfo, the document title was incorporated into
the body segment. Adversely affected the publish_parts interface.

- Changed default stylesheet to "no stylesheet" to avoid latex complaining
about a missing file.

934322).
- Added option --use-verbatim-when-possible, to avoid
problematic characters (eg, '~' in italian) in literal blocks.
- It's now possible to use four section levels in the book and
report LaTeX classes. The default article class still has
three levels limit.
