If you want to take out a mortgage and hold down a steady job, then I support you. I just think that if you're born a baby, you're always going to be a baby and can't change that. https://redd.it/9s6xci

docutils documentation [ - ]

How do I use a per-page title 2x in an rst2html5 template file without:

* using sed, awk, or any other text/macro processing system on the command line, or

* typing more than 1 line of boilerplate giving the title in the .rst source file?

None of the docs I can find say.

docutils documentation [ - ]

I like that docutils will produce a complete html file from reStructuredText input.

I like that the default html template can be overridden or extended & that basic examples are given.

But who thought it a good idea to a) not *document* the template format(s), & b) use a default template that doesn't even match the basic examples' formatting language?

US pol

Ok, so radicals are right in most or all of their critiques of voting. But! Imagine the US is a fossil-fuel car. We really need to replace it with a train running on sustainable energy. Voting for a new driver won't do any of that.
However! That car is currently speeding down a steep hill towards a bunch of school kids who are all holding puppies and kittens while meeting Tony the Tiger. The driver is hitting the gas.
Changing the driver actually is a really good thing to do right now.

I mean, good on her for finally figuring out the Republicans lied (Trump most bald-faced of all), but everyone and her mother tried to tell her this two years ago.

What WaPo wrote: "'I was wrong' to back Trump, Caitlyn Jenner writes for The Post. 'He has ignored our humanity' and used transgender people as pawns."

What I read: "Woman who endorsed, backed, & voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party cries, 'I never thought they would eat *our* faces!'"
