RST notes and warnings don't render properly

[KevinGDialpad]

RST input:

This is some text 

.. warning::

   This is a warning

This is more text

.. note::

   This is a note

And some more text

Rendered locally with restview:

But on Confluence:

I wonder if it's a Pandoc/pypandoc problem. It would be best to fix the problem there, as opposed to adding another corner case in this script.

BTW it also doesn't render well on GitHub but that's a GitHub problem and it's documented in github/markup#1682

This is indeed a Pandoc problem. From current python:3.13-slim:

root@ae04672dfe5e:/# pandoc -v | head -n 1
pandoc 2.17.1.1
root@ae04672dfe5e:/# cat input.rst 
This is some text

.. note::

   This is a note

And some more text
root@ae04672dfe5e:/# pandoc --from rst --to jira input.rst 
This is some text

Note

This is a note

And some more text

We could potentially find the start of the note by looking for the string \nNote\n\n, but Pandoc loses the indentation, so we can't tell where the note ends.

Now, the Pandoc version in the image we're using is pretty old because the image is based on Debian. Maybe we should use pandoc/core to keep up with Pandoc instead of keeping up with Python.

Anyway, the output is the same with the latest version of Pandoc:

$ docker run --rm --volume "$(pwd):/data" --user $(id -u):$(id -g) pandoc/core input.rst --from rst --to jira
This is some text

Note

This is a note

And some more text

$ docker run --rm  pandoc/core -v | head -n 1
pandoc 3.6.2

I filed jgm/pandoc#10561 upstream.

I think we should fix the issue there, as opposed to trying to work around the problem here.
