This application generates ctags-compatible output for the sections of a reStructuredText document. It does not use the docutils engine since docutils is far too slow for my needs.

The motivation was to have a tool fast enough to use with the TagBar plugin in Vim.

To use this tool with TagBar, add the following into your ~/.vimrc:

" Add support for reStructuredText files in tagbar.
let g:tagbar_type_rst = {
    \ 'ctagstype': 'rst',
    \ 'ctagsbin' : '/path/to/rst2ctags.py',
    \ 'ctagsargs' : '-f - --sort=yes --sro=»',
    \ 'kinds' : [
        \ 's:sections',
        \ 'i:images'
    \ ],
    \ 'sro' : '»',
    \ 'kind2scope' : {
        \ 's' : 'section',
    \ },
    \ 'sort': 0,
\ }
