(ERROR/3) Undefined substitution referenced

[dforsi]

Hello,

using html2rest to convert the attached test.html.txt results in a file containing a single line indented with 2 spaces:
title some text\\|test|.. |test| image:: test.jpg
and when I convert that file with rst2html and other converters from Debian's docutils 0.12+dfsg-1 I get:
test.rst:1: (ERROR/3) Undefined substitution referenced: "test".

thank you,
Daniele

Thanks for reporting.

Any idea to fix this?

I'm learning reStructuredText but it seems to me that explicit markup blocks ".. " must be at the beginning of a line after the indent if any, so as has an hack, having _get_block_data() insert "\n" before the content makes the converter happy:

+        return "\n" + content

     #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This fixes the original "Undefined substitution referenced" error but another error is shown

test.rst:2: (WARNING/2) Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

this is caused in my specific case because the contents of the HTML title is indented but I think it's a different issue, unless the code that handles the title (I can't find it) does something that confuses other code.

Great!

Can you create a pull request with a test case for this, please?

It's merged with 06bd422 so i will close this.

Please reopen, if something wrong ;)
