Limitations

Unsupported Google Docs Features:

The Google Docs is a powerful editor, but not all features are supported to convert to reST markups. Below is the list (included but not limited to)

• Comments. This is not supported by the reST.
• Drawing objects. Because there is no API to get it as an image.
• List styles. The list style is defined by the CSS settings in the html page.
• Math equations. Because this is no API to get it as an image.
• Multi-columns. This is not supported by the reST.
• Page break. This is not able to apply to a html page.
• Page header and page footer. This is not supported by the reST.
• Page numbering. This is not able to apply to a html page.
• Internal link to heading does not work. Currently there is no API to identifiy the target heading element. Please use “Bookmark“ instead.
• Bold and italic styles in footnote content does not exposed by Doc’s API. Which means bold and italic text is rendered as normal text in footnote content.

Known Issues:

  • If the repository or folder name of the binding file in Github was renamed, a re-binding is required for committing.

  • If the binding file has changed, according to the new binding name, a new image subfolder might be created. Which means the original image subfolder should be removed manually.
