Reminder: try to get vscode-restructuredtext to fully work – reStructuredText Language Support in Visual Studio Code
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/23
I love Visual Studio Code, but my initial tries to get [WayBack] GitHub – vscode-restructuredtext/vscode-restructuredtext: reStructuredText Language Support in Visual Studio Code to work partially failed: editing works, but I got a non-descriptive error during preview.
All prerequisites are installed, so I needed to pause that for a while.
I still want it, as out of the box, [WayBack] Markdown editing with Visual Studio Code: Markdown Preview works fine, but for complicated documents I tend to use reStructuredText.
Initial steps were simple, as per [WayBack] reStructuredText – Visual Studio Marketplace and editing is awesome (thanks to [WayBack] GitHub – lextm/restructuredtext-antlr: ANTLR Grammar for reStructuredText).

In the thread is an actual implementation: [WayBack] I am looking for an implementation of Bipartite matching algorithm in Delphi or Pascal. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks – John Kouraklis – Google+
As I probably need it one day (:

When pandoc on a reStructuredText document gives “(WARNING/2) Inline substitution_reference start-string without end-string.”
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/22
When fixing some of the Pandoc conversion messages from … to html, I got this warning:
Network-Protocol-Security.rst:917: (WARNING/2) Inline substitution_reference start-string without end-string.
In my experience, the line numbers do not usually match, but in this case it was accurate (not the same as Network-Protocol-Security.rst#L874 because I was still editing it).
A search for “Inline substitution_reference start-string without end-string.” did only reveal occurrences, not causes, but “Inline substitution_reference start-string without end-string”
showed post with a cause: [WayBack] python sphinx – How to include an internal reference in a code block? – Stack Overflow pointing to [WayBack] reStructuredText Markup Specification: Substitution References.
Solution is either to
- Escape
|_using a backslash like\|-. - Properly format code blocks using
::at the front and indents of the block
Lessons learned:
- When you get a pandoc message like
substitution_reference, then search for it while substituting the underscore with a space inside the [WayBack] reStructuredText Markup Specification. - Quoted strings to trim down Google search results, but you might want to leave out trailing punctuation.
Applying the lessons

Peter Drucker: The Rules of Effectiveness – Personal Growth – Medium
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/22
This is so simple and so hard at the same time: [WayBack] Peter Drucker: The Rules of Effectiveness – Personal Growth – Medium:
- Design the Practice, Not the Person
This means you have to set schedules when to do things and for how long.
This is hard in an ever changing, ever interrupting world where tasks are of tough to estimate duration.- Embrace Purposeful Abandonment
Less+Less==More; which implies you should do a lot less things to be effective. Skip the things you do not really need.- Switch From Exploring to Exploiting
For me it was hard to understand, especially not being in my 20ies any more for a long time: high reward risky paths are better to be pursued than risk-averse paths.
The cool thing though: Peter Drucker found about all these during his life which was mostly (1909-2005) before computing and social network became ubiquitous.
So yes: the above should be possible in an agile environment.

reStructuredText – document title and subtitle
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/21
Always watch how you format your reStructuredText sections: [WayBack] Docutils FAQ: 2.6 How can I indicate the document title? Subtitle?
That is why I have these comments at the top of most of my documents:
.. $ %
.. # * = + ^ ~ - : . _ ` ' "
The first two are the document title and subtitle marks, the others the level 1 through 13.

Is there no shortcut in the IDE for Quick Edit?
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/21
I hope this feature gets added: [WayBack] Is there no shortcut in the IDE for Quick Edit? – Reinier Sterkenburg – Google+.
The thread evolved into a few posts about failing keyboard handling (including Shift-F10) which has been failing for a long time and known to the development team for almost that time.
Hopefully things like that get fixed one day as well.
