About:
rst-lint is a command-line tool that checks ReStructuredText (RST) documents for syntax errors and formatting issues. It helps ensure documentation is valid and renders correctly across different RST parsers. The tool is lightweight and can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines for automated documentation validation.
Key Features:
  • Validates RST syntax and structure
  • Lightweight and fast execution
  • Outputs errors in readable formats
  • No Python dependencies required for basic usage
Use Cases:
  • Validating Sphinx documentation before deployment
  • Pre-commit hooks for RST linting
  • CI/CD pipeline documentation quality checks
Alternatives:
  • rstcheck – More actively maintained but requires Python environment
  • Sphinx – Full documentation builder with built-in validation
