WordPreSt adds a reStructuredText input mode to the WordPress post/page editor. Once installed, reStructuredText may be input directly into the editor and converted to HTML with the click of a mouse. The reSt source is saved with each post/page for future edits. The rendered HTML output is stored as the actual post content to allow modification after rendering if desired. Plugin settings control the features of the reSt convertor and include automatic table of contents links, post title generation from reSt, header level customization, and others. A “View document source” link is also (optionally) available for each post.

WordPreSt requires no template modifications and every effort has been made to ensure a truly seamless integration into WordPress.
