ReST advocates should take the same challenge.
You propose a task that nobody could possibly be interested in so that you can proclaim yourself victor?
Nope. Not interested.
Yeah, I couldn't figure out a way to do it either.
Yawn! I've seen better trolls on this list.
How about doing the top 10 books aka. books that people really want to read?
Because those are all too easy. I discovered an e-text that uses enough different textual structures that it may qualify as a good overall test case for any markup language. If ReST can accommodate all the requirements of 14668 then I would say it is a reasonably powerful markup language. If it can't, well, then not so much. The point is not to create Yet Another Plain Text Version, but to validate a methodology. The best reason I can think of for resisting this experiment is so as not to risk contradicting a deeply-held belief. I live in a highly religious state, so I understand your reluctance. But perhaps there is someone else out there who is also a fan of ReST but open-minded enough to perform the experiment?
