[Python-modules-team] Bug#714880: inline references are not resolved

[Yuri D'Elia]

Package: python-docutils
Version: 0.10-3
Severity: minor

See the attached test case, pasted here for reference:

`a <b_>`_

... _b: http://example.com/

`a <b_>`_ is an inline reference to b_, which is an external reference to
http://example.com/. The purpose of this concoction is to have a link while
changing its anchor text.  Example:

`a link to <python_>`_.

... _python: http://www.python.org/

Which should produce "a link to http://www.python.org/".

This is actually documented in the RST reference:

http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#embedded-uris-and-aliases

But it doesn't work. bug.rst produces a bogus link to "b_" using rst2html.
