I wonder if novanasa  is aware that py.test provides
checking of RST syntax and links?

This is how it works: if you drop

    http://codespeak.net/svn/py/dist/py/doc/conftest.py

into a directory py.test will run RST related checks
on text files, i.e. files matching "*.txt". 
You may modify the conftest.py to look for "*.rst" files
instead, of course.  The conftest also adds some interesting
command line options (issue "py.test -h" while being in the directory).

We could place a link from the main page to 
the tutorial or we could probably also put
it somewhere on codespeak. 

best & cheers,
