ReSTedit v0.50 is now available for download.
ReSTedit is a GUI tool for editing and interactivly exploring texts in the ReStructuredText format (or ReST) as introduced by the Docutils project. Despite being quite simple, ReSTedit is very useful for quickly checking if Docutils renders some text as you would expect it. You only paste it into a ReSTedit window to see if it's ok or not, without writing any test code around it.
It adds three features of note:
- the underlying document is monitored via a kqueue. Any change to the on-disk file will cause ReSTedit to re-render the document.
- it now uses RBSplitView such that the document can be switched between text only, rendered content only, or split display via a Toolbar control.
- the app is packaged via py2app such that the binary distribution is completely self-contained and significantly smaller than previous distributions.

General information on ReStructured Text and the underlying docutils rendering engine can be found here:

A self-contained binary of ReSTedit.app can be found on my .mac downloads page. It does not require any additional components to be installed as pyobjc and docutils are both embedded in the .app wrapper.
