Does anyone know of a Structured Text or ReStructured Text interactive
previewer? As you know, learning these rules and making mistakes will cause
you to iterate between editing and viewing. Has anyone working with either
types of text come across such a tool?

Yes: http://python.net/~gherman/ReSTedit.html

...but it's MacOS X only. 8-(

yes, I ran across that in my search and was very unhappy that it was only
for the Mac. I wonder if the tool was written in Python.

Yes, it is. But it tightly coupled with Apple design tools, framework etc.

You might want to take a look at docutils subproject DocFactory at
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/sandbox/gschwant/docfactory/doc/
which is wxPython based and cross-platform.

Look for DocFactory at http://docutils.sourceforge.net

Sure it is! As it comes with full source code you can take it and
port it to something else, if you want. Here is another teasing
candidate: http://python.net/~gherman/RegexPlor.html ;-) It's not
unlikely, though, that these might work soon on GNUstep, too...

For those using KDE, particularly with PyKDE, there's another option
(long URL alert):

http://dot.kde.org/1068148183/1068169673/1068181339/1068244361/1068260975/

I keep generating snapshots of the component mentioned in the
referenced discussion. However, it was only recently that I got round
to wrapping David Goodger's HTML writer for ReST to produce a
ludicrously small plugin module for my Wiki KPart.

Some issues remain with its integration into Konqueror but, hopefully,
these will be ironed out over time.

Give Zwiki a whirl.
Your STX mileage may vary fixes/workarounds have been implemented.
