RST is terrible. The idea is great, but the ball was dropped on the execution.

We switched to restructured text for fish, and I remember the insane loopholes I had to jump through to render the markdown equivalent of `followed by a trailing space ` because Sphinx absolutely insisted on eating that trailing space.. and there’s no way to actually explicitly define an inline code block so I could bypass the abstraction (whereas with Markdown I could always just insert a code element).

And don’t get me started on the inability to nest markup. What a joke. You can’t bill something as a “more legitimate documentation language” when you’re not even at feature parity with Markdown.
