I never said we should "demand" anything, but the current situation is clearly confusing to users. While it might have made sense to have rst2html5 as a separate package back when docutils didn't support HTML5 output directly, now a very unfortunate name clash has been created and I think we should make at least an attempt at solving it instead of working around it. > The only good course of action is probably to submit a patch to actually > make it work. I would consider that undesirable, as the two tools are then bound to get out of sync again further down the line. Making it a wrapper for docutils' rst2html5 might work. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
