`.rst` render

[boarpig]

I installed your official linux x64 binary on my desktop and set it up to use sqlite. Then as a first thing I tried migrating my github repo

https://github.com/boarpig/issue

but it seemed to load forever. It seems it cloned it fine but cannot open the page for it. I suspected it could be something with the size of the repository but cloning gogs repository works fine.

Then I wondered if it was the name of the repo "issue" but I tried making a copy with a different name but that didn't seem to work either. There's something wrong with that repository, that makes gogs load forever and not even give any sort of error.

Thanks for your feedback, let me test it first.

The clone is actually finished, it's the problem that somewhat cannot open the repository. @slene do you have any idea?

[unknwon]

@slene It's the infinity loop in code block https://github.com/gogits/gogs/blob/master/routers/repo/repo.go#L184-L234 , if I directly type single file URL, I can view normally.

Problem actually seems to be in markdown rendering for Readme.md file in base.RenderMarkdown, so perhaps there is a bug in the markdown renderer or and error in my readme file that your renderer cannot handle
EDIT: I just noticed that the readme is not markdown at all, it's reStructuredText that python documentation required for submission in pypi. I totally forgot that. Github handles that transparently but gogs tries to render it as markdown

[boarpig]

Do you think I should open a new issue with correct description since it turned out that the problem is not really the cloning of the repo but markdown render engine going in to infinite loop for some reason since the readme is not markdown but restructured text?

[unknwon]

@boarpig Sorry for delay, I've read your comment but forgot to reply.

I think you can just change the title of issue would be fine!

[unknwon]

BTW, is rst is some doc format? I'm not familiar with it. Also you have .rst extension, which means we cannot render it for now, and it should be problem of checking what README to render.

[unknwon]

I'll do some research see if Go has some parser for .rst, otherwise, I'll make one. Thanks for your valuable feedback!

[boarpig]

Yes, restructured text is a text document format very similar to markdown but predates it by few years. It's very used in python documentation and you need to have your readme in rst format in order to submit your project into python package index so it's more convenient for me to only have one readme in rst instead of having them in markdown and rst

Here's a reference
