How To Install rst2txt on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install rst2txt on CentOS 8.
What is rst2txt
reStructuredText is pretty-damn consumable in its raw form, but extensive use of directives and roles can hamper things or leave the document incomplete in its raw form. rst2txt allows you to work around this by evaluating the reStructuredText source and stripping it of most of its formatting. The end result is a document that’s more readable and has elements that don’t make sense in a plain text document, such as images, stripped.
