[Jobs] Need some help with Python Job Board

Mon Nov 13 04:16:15 EST 2017

Hi Justin,
the default markup is currently set to restructuredtext:
https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/blob/master/jobs/models.py
but this can be changed to any of these supported ones:
https://github.com/jamesturk/django-markupfield
as long as we make sure that all existing records continue
to be set to ReST (to not mess up the formatting).
Since I had a look at WYSIWYG editors, some new ones may have
surfaced.
The templates are defined here:
https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/tree/master/templates/jobs
and the main project page has instructions on how to get
a local copy of the website working:
https://pythondotorg.readthedocs.io/
Thanks,
