[Eric] question about supporting reStructuredText

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi Darren,

just pick the latest eric4 snapshot. It includes a pygments based lexer, that 
makes available everything, which is supported by pygments. reStructuredText 
should be one of the pygments lexers. If this is not autodetected, the 
context menu of the editor contains an entry to select the pygments lexer to 
be used.

Regards,
Detlev
