<li><p>docutils/transforms/parts.py:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
<li><p>Added support for disabling of section numbering.</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>docutils/transforms/references.py:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>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!</p></li>
<li><p>Added code to hook into the unknown_reference_resolvers list for a
transformer in resolve_indirect_target. This allows the
unknown_reference_resolvers to keep around indirect targets which
docutils doesn't know about.</p></li>
<li><p>Added specific error message for duplicate targets.</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>docutils/transforms/universal.py:</p>

Kirill Lapshin).</p></li>
<li><p>Improved table grid/border handling (prompted by report from Bob
Marshall).</p></li>
<li><p>Added support for table titles.</p></li>
<li><p>Added "<title />" for untitled docs, for XHTML conformance; thanks
to Darek Suchojad.</p></li>
<li><p>Added functionality to keep track of individual parts of a document
and store them in a dictionary as the "parts" attribute of the writer.
Contributed by Reggie Dugard at the Docutils sprint at PyCon DC 2004.</p></li>
<li><p>Added proper support for the "scale" attribute of the "image"
element. Contributed by Brent Cook.</p></li>
<li><p>Added <span class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--initial-header-level</span></span> option.</p></li>
<li><p>Fixed bug: the body_pre_docinfo segment depended on there being a
docinfo; if no docinfo, the document title was incorporated into
the body segment. Adversely affected the publish_parts interface.</p></li>
</ul>

<span class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--section-prefix-for-enumerators</span></span>, and
<span class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--section-enumerator-separator</span></span>. By John F Meinel Jr (SF patch
934322).</p></li>
<li><p>Added option <span class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--use-verbatim-when-possible</span></span>, to avoid
problematic characters (eg, '~' in italian) in literal blocks.</p></li>
<li><p>It's now possible to use four section levels in the <cite>book</cite> and
<cite>report</cite> LaTeX document classes. The default <cite>article</cite> class still has
three levels limit.</p></li>
</ul>
</li>

<p>This is the first release of Docutils, merged from the now inactive
<a class="reference external" href="http://structuredtext.sourceforge.net/">reStructuredText</a> and <a class="reference external" href="http://docstring.sourceforge.net/">Docstring Processing System</a> projects. For
the pre-Docutils history, see the <a class="reference external" href="http://structuredtext.sourceforge.net/HISTORY.html">reStructuredText HISTORY</a> and the
<a class="reference external" href="http://docstring.sourceforge.net/HISTORY.html">DPS HISTORY</a> files.</p>
<p>General changes: renamed 'dps' package to 'docutils'; renamed
'restructuredtext' subpackage to 'rst'; merged the codebases; merged
the test suites (reStructuredText's test/test_states renamed to
test/test_rst); and all modifications required to make it all work.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>docutils/parsers/rst/states.py:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Improved diagnostic system messages for missing blank lines.</p></li>
<li><p>Fixed substitution_reference bug.</p></li>
