ReStructured Text

I've been working on updating all of my articles to use ReStructured text formatting these past couple of days. Basically ever since I started using Django on my personal sites, I used Textile formatting to make my articles look pretty, and it treated me well. However, I found myself with a few extra minutes to do some research this weekend, and the topic I happened to research was the difference between ReStructured text, Markdown, and Textile.

After my brief research into these utilities, I decided it would be worth my while to convert all of my articles and other Textile-formatted content to use ReStructured text instead. Most of this is due to personal preferences for certain conventions--very little technical reasoning came into play when I made the decision to switch (so don't ask me why I abandoned one for the other if you expect a technical pro/con list). Suffice it to say that I consider the ReST syntax to be superior to that of Textile.

In the conversion process, I realized that I wrote a whole lot more in my articles than I thought I did! It took much longer than expected, but the work is done now, and all of the articles should be updated. Most of you probably won't be able to tell much of a difference one way or another, but if you do find a problem with the formatting of any of my articles, please notify me!
