Is there any workaround at all?   E.g. a web site where you can give it a URL for a RST file,  and it'll typeset the RST for you?  Or is it impossible to to typeset RST?

I tend to use pandoc to preview RST files locally. There are also a few websites that allow you to enter RST content directly and see a live preview (e.g. https://snippets.documatt.com/). They may not exactly line up with how GitHub renders things, of course, and I don't know of any that let you feed in a URL to an RST file hosted elsewhere. Adam

I cataloged all the proposals that fail to render. The others are ok.

Hi,

it’s not simply file size: we have (from wc -c proposals/*|sort -n)

  43501 proposals/0380-ghc2021.rst   44051 proposals/0242-unsaturated-type-families.rst

but #380 doesn't work but #242 works.

I tried some rst linters, but nothing popped up.

It could be output size or render time: It loading the file does take a while, as if github tries to render it and then gives up.

That’s quite annoying, not sure what to do here now.

Cheers, Joachim
