+= reStructuredText Support in Trac =
+
+Trac supports using ''reStructuredText'' (RST) as an alternative to wiki markup in any context WikiFormatting is used.
+
+From the reStucturedText webpage:
+ "''reStructuredText is an easy-to-read, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup syntax and parser   system. It is useful for in-line program documentation (such as Python docstrings), for quickly creating  simple web pages, and for standalone documents. reStructuredText is designed for extensibility for  specific application domains. ''"
+
+=== Requirements ===
+Note that to activate RST support in Trac, the python docutils package must be installed. 
+If not already available on your operating system, you can download it at the [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html RST Website].
+
+Install docutils using `easy_install docutils`. Do not use the package manager of your OS (e.g. `apt-get install python-docutils`), because Trac will not find docutils then.
+
+=== More information on RST ===
+
+ * reStructuredText Website -- http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html
+ * RST Quick Reference -- http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/rst/quickref.html
+
+----
+
+== Using RST in Trac ==
+To specify that a block of text should be parsed using RST, use the ''rst'' processor. 
+
+=== TracLinks in reStructuredText ===
+
+ * Trac provides a custom RST directive `trac::` to allow TracLinks from within RST text.
+
+ Example:
+ {{{
+ {{{
+ #!rst
+ This is a reference to |a ticket|
+
+ .. |a ticket| trac:: #42
+ }}}
+ }}}
+
+ * Trac allows an even easier way of creating TracLinks in RST, using the custom `:trac:` role.
+
+ Example:
+ {{{
+ {{{
+ #!rst
+ This is a reference to ticket `#12`:trac:
+
+ To learn how to use Trac, see `TracGuide`:trac:
+ }}}
+ }}}
+
+ For a complete example of all uses of the `:trac:` role, please see WikiRestructuredTextLinks. 
+
+
+=== Syntax highlighting in reStructuredText ===
+
+There is a directive for doing TracSyntaxColoring in RST as well. The directive is called
+code-block
+
+Example
+
+{{{
+{{{
+#!rst
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ class Test:
+
+    def TestFunction(self):
+        pass
+
+}}}
+}}}
+
+Will result in the below.
+
+{{{
+#!rst
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ class Test:
+
+    def TestFunction(self):
+        pass
+
+}}}
+
+=== Wiki Macros in reStructuredText ===
+
+For doing [WikiMacros Wiki Macros] in RST you use the same directive as for syntax highlighting i.e
+code-block. To work you must use a version of trac that has [trac:ticket:801 #801] applied. 
+
+=== Wiki Macro Example ===
+
+{{{
+{{{
+#!rst
+
+.. code-block:: RecentChanges
+
+   Trac,3
+
+}}}
+}}}
+
+Will result in the below:
+
+     [[RecentChanges(Trac,3)]]
+
+Or a more concise Wiki Macro like syntax is also available:
+
+{{{
+{{{
+#!rst
+
+:code-block:`RecentChanges:Trac,3`
+}}}
+}}}
+
+=== Bigger RST Example ===
+The example below should be mostly self-explanatory:
+{{{
+#!html
+<pre class="wiki">{{{
+#!rst
