The to-do list has this item: add a runtime setting (directive and/or command-line option) to set the default role of interpreted text. I.E., map "`" to something. Should we have a directive to map other inline markup (i.e., "*" & "**", maybe even "``") to arbitrary inline element types?
This doesn't make sense to me; when I read a reST source, I parse the asterisks and backquotes in a certain way, and if a text would arbitrarily redefine them, the benefit would be lost. -1...
I don't think that "*", "**", "``" should be re-definable but they should boil down to fixed interpreted text roles. Simplifies the internal document model. [If that's already the case, excuse my ignorance :-]. -- Beni Cherniavsky <cben@tx.technion.ac.il> Gigga incognita :-)
