Support line blocks (verse markup) in reST.

[jgm]

At http://wiki.darcs.net/CodingStyle I am trying to use
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#line-blocks
but pandoc appears not to support them yet.

They are supported:
{{{
% pandoc -r rst
| this is
| a poem

this is
a <em
poem</em

</p

}}}

Can you send the sample input that is not working for you, and say which version of
pandoc you are using?

The page I linked to, CodingStyle, has the example at the bottom of the page. It's a gitit instance, so
there should be a "view source" link somewhere on that page, too.

I guess what is happening is that you're only supporting line blocks where lines are not broken, e.g.

| foo
| bar

is OK, but if a single logical line is to be "unwrapped" by the parser:

| Nor again is there anyone who
loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself,
| because it is pain,
| but because occasionally circumstances occur in
which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure.
| To take a trivial example,
| which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise,
| except to obtain some advantage from it?

I ran gitit --version, and it reported 0.6.1 -plugins. Unfortunately it didn't tell me what version of pandoc was
used, and there is no pandoc package listed by ghc-pkg on that server -- I guess someone made a static
binary and copied it to wiki.darcs.net.

Ok, I didn't realize RST line blocks allow broken lines like that. It will have to
go in the todo list for pandoc, but in the mean time you can fix your page by
avoiding wrapping.

r1583 adds support for continuation lines in line blocks.
