It converts plain-text documents into structured output, primarily HTML. The package is part of the Zope ecosystem and has been maintained since its early releases, with recent updates adding support for modern Python versions (3.12, 3.13) and dropping older versions. It depends only on setuptools at runtime.\n\nThe package is useful when you need to parse or render documents written in the STX dialect\u2014a format historically used in Zope documentation and legacy systems. It provides multiple output renderers and maintains backward compatibility while modernizing its internal structure (recent versions replaced pkg_resources with PEP 420 namespaces).","worth_installing":"Yes, if you work with Zope or legacy STX-formatted documents. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and supports current Python versions. However, verify ZPL-2.1 license compatibility first (marked unclear in metadata). Not recommended for new projects seeking a general-purpose markup parser\u2014consider Markdown or reStructuredText instead."},"id":"zope-structuredtext","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-structuredtext","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-structuredtext.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/zope-structuredtext/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"zope.structuredtext","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"StructuredText parser"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":129031,"position":11686,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.0"}
