Hi Stefan!

Thanks for contacting us!

Wei-Wei submitted this or a similar patch a while ago to the docutils
project. Unfortunately it has not been integrated yet - due to lack of
time.

I'm just preparing a new version of rst.el for the Emacs development.
It merges the downstream patches from you Emacs developers with a
couple of improvements I did in the upstream version in the docutils
version. IMHO it would be wiser that I integrate Wei-Wei's patch in
the upstream version.

Thanks for this.

I'd suggest this: I'll look at your version of the patch and include
in the upstream version in the docutils project and then send the
result to the Emacs developers. I think this would be the best way
also because in my local development environment I'm maintaining all
the versions of rst.el I know of so I'm probably the only one who can
merge all the changes properly. Since I now have an improved version
of this patch I'll do this immediately. Is that ok for you?
