How can I substitute a container directive ? The following doesn't work:
.. |sub| container::
Some text here
.. image:: img/some_image.png
Some other text here
The error message is
WARNING: Substitution definition "sub" empty or invalid.
This is not possible. ReST substitutions apply to inline text (single paragraphs), but a container is a block element.
And if you try
.. |sub| replace:: container::
Some text here
.. image:: img/some_image.png
Some other text here
you will get
ERROR: Error in "replace" directive: may contain a single paragraph only.
You could work around this by putting the container in a separate file and pull it in to the master file using .. include::
.
