Package: python-docutils Version: 0.12+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Try to render the following with rst2html:
------>8------ :`link <url/>`: succeeds. :`link <http://url/>`_: fails to parse due to nested ``:``. :`link <http\://url>`_: parses, but fails later. ------8<------ Mostly self-explanatory: line 2 complains about unexpected unindent, but actually fails to recognize that the first : is nested inside an inline reference. Line 3 is there only for completeness: I wouldn't expect the need for escaping in this context. Normal references do work, of course. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (800, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages python-docutils depends on: ii docutils-common 0.12+dfsg-1 ii python-roman 2.0.0-1 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages python-docutils recommends: ii docutils-doc 0.12+dfsg-1 ii libpaper-utils 1.1.24+nmu4 ii python-pil 2.9.0-1 ii python-pygments 2.0.1+dfsg-1.1 Versions of packages python-docutils suggests: ii fonts-linuxlibertine [ttf-linux-libertine] 5.3.0-2 pn texlive-lang-french <none> ii texlive-latex-base 2015.20150810-1 ii texlive-latex-recommended 2015.20150810-1
