-Structural Elements
-===================
-
-Section Title
--------------
-
-That's it, the text just above this line.
-
-Transitions
------------
-
-Here's a transition:
-
----------
-
-It divides the section.
-
-Body Elements
-=============
-
-Paragraphs
-----------
-
-A paragraph.
-
-Inline Markup
-`````````````
-
-Paragraphs contain text and may contain inline markup: *emphasis*,
-**strong emphasis**, ``inline literals``, standalone hyperlinks
-(http://www.python.org), external hyperlinks (Python_), internal
-cross-references (example_), external hyperlinks with embedded URIs
-(`Python web site <http://www.python.org>`__), footnote references
-(manually numbered [1]_, anonymous auto-numbered [#]_, labeled
-auto-numbered [#label]_, or symbolic [*]_), citation references
-([CIT2002]_), substitution references (|example|), and _`inline
-hyperlink targets` (see Targets_ below for a reference back to here).
-Character-level inline markup is also possible (although exceedingly
-ugly!) in *re*\ ``Structured``\ *Text*. Problems are indicated by
-|problematic| text (generated by processing errors; this one is
-intentional).
-
-The default role for interpreted text is `Title Reference`. Here are
-some explicit interpreted text roles: a PEP reference (:PEP:`287`); an
-RFC reference (:RFC:`2822`); a :sub:`subscript`; a :sup:`superscript`;
-and explicit roles for :emphasis:`standard` :strong:`inline`
-:literal:`markup`.
-
-.. DO NOT RE-WRAP THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH!
-
-Let's test wrapping and whitespace significance in inline literals:
-``This is an example of --inline-literal --text, --including some--
-strangely--hyphenated-words. Adjust-the-width-of-your-browser-window
-to see how the text is wrapped. -- ---- -------- Now note the
-spacing between the words of this sentence (words
-should be grouped in pairs).``
-
-If the ``--pep-references`` option was supplied, there should be a
-live link to PEP 258 here.
-
-Bullet Lists
-------------
-
-- A bullet list
-
- + Nested bullet list.
- + Nested item 2.
-
-- Item 2.
-
- Paragraph 2 of item 2.
-
- * Nested bullet list.
- * Nested item 2.
-
- - Third level.
- - Item 2.
-
- * Nested item 3.
-
-Enumerated Lists
-----------------
-
-1. Arabic numerals.
-
- a) lower alpha)
-
- (i) (lower roman)
-
- A. upper alpha.
-
- I) upper roman)
-
-2. Lists that don't start at 1:
-
- 3. Three
-
- 4. Four
-
- C. C
-
- D. D
-
- iii. iii
-
- iv. iv
-
-#. List items may also be auto-enumerated.
-
-Definition Lists
-----------------
-
-Term
- Definition
-Term : classifier
- Definition paragraph 1.
-
- Definition paragraph 2.
-Term
- Definition
-
-Field Lists
------------
-
-:what: Field lists map field names to field bodies, like database
- records. They are often part of an extension syntax. They are
- an unambiguous variant of RFC 2822 fields.
-
-:how arg1 arg2:
-
- The field marker is a colon, the field name, and a colon.
-
- The field body may contain one or more body elements, indented
- relative to the field marker.
-
-Option Lists
-------------
-
-For listing command-line options:
-
--a command-line option "a"
--b file options can have arguments
- and long descriptions
---long options can be long also
---input=file long options can also have
- arguments
-
---very-long-option
- The description can also start on the next line.
-
- The description may contain multiple body elements,
- regardless of where it starts.
-
--x, -y, -z Multiple options are an "option group".
--v, --verbose Commonly-seen: short & long options.
--1 file, --one=file, --two file
- Multiple options with arguments.
-/V DOS/VMS-style options too
-
-There must be at least two spaces between the option and the
-description.
-
-Literal Blocks
---------------
-
-Literal blocks are indicated with a double-colon ("::") at the end of
-the preceding paragraph (over there ``-->``). They can be indented::
-
- if literal_block:
- text = 'is left as-is'
- spaces_and_linebreaks = 'are preserved'
- markup_processing = None
-
-Or they can be quoted without indentation::
-
->> Great idea!
->
-> Why didn't I think of that?
-
-Line Blocks
------------
-
-| This is a line block. It ends with a blank line.
-| Each new line begins with a vertical bar ("|").
-| Line breaks and initial indents are preserved.
-| Continuation lines are wrapped portions of long lines;
- they begin with a space in place of the vertical bar.
-| The left edge of a continuation line need not be aligned with
- the left edge of the text above it.
-
-| This is a second line block.
-|
-| Blank lines are permitted internally, but they must begin with a "|".
-
-Take it away, Eric the Orchestra Leader!
-
- | A one, two, a one two three four
- |
- | Half a bee, philosophically,
- | must, *ipso facto*, half not be.
- | But half the bee has got to be,
- | *vis a vis* its entity. D'you see?
- |
- | But can a bee be said to be
- | or not to be an entire bee,
- | when half the bee is not a bee,
- | due to some ancient injury?
- |
- | Singing...
-
-Block Quotes
-------------
-
-Block quotes consist of indented body elements:
-
- My theory by A. Elk. Brackets Miss, brackets. This theory goes
- as follows and begins now. All brontosauruses are thin at one
- end, much much thicker in the middle and then thin again at the
- far end. That is my theory, it is mine, and belongs to me and I
- own it, and what it is too.
-
- -- Anne Elk (Miss)
-
-Doctest Blocks
---------------
-
->>> print 'Python-specific usage examples; begun with ">>>"'
-Python-specific usage examples; begun with ">>>"
->>> print '(cut and pasted from interactive Python sessions)'
-(cut and pasted from interactive Python sessions)
-
-Tables
-------
-
-Here's a grid table followed by a simple table:
-
-+------------------------+------------+----------+----------+
-| Header row, column 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | Header 4 |
-| (header rows optional) | | | |
-+========================+============+==========+==========+

-| body row 3 | Cells may | - Table cells |
-+------------------------+ span rows. | - contain |
-| body row 4 | | - body elements. |
-+------------------------+------------+----------+----------+
-| body row 5 | Cells may also be | |
-| | empty: ``-->`` | |

-False False False
-True False True
-False True True
-True True True

-
-Footnotes
----------
-
-.. [1] A footnote contains body elements, consistently indented by at
- least 3 spaces.
-
- This is the footnote's second paragraph.
-
-.. [#label] Footnotes may be numbered, either manually (as in [1]_) or
- automatically using a "#"-prefixed label. This footnote has a
- label so it can be referred to from multiple places, both as a
- footnote reference ([#label]_) and as a hyperlink reference
- (label_).
-
-.. [#] This footnote is numbered automatically and anonymously using a
- label of "#" only.
-
-.. [*] Footnotes may also use symbols, specified with a "*" label.
- Here's a reference to the next footnote: [*]_.
-
-.. [*] This footnote shows the next symbol in the sequence.
-
-.. [4] Here's an unreferenced footnote, with a reference to a
- nonexistent footnote: [5]_.
-
-Citations
----------
-
-.. [CIT2002] Citations are text-labeled footnotes. They may be
- rendered separately and differently from footnotes.
-
-Here's a reference to the above, [CIT2002]_, and a [nonexistent]_
-citation.
-
-Targets
--------
-
-.. _example:
-
-This paragraph is pointed to by the explicit "example" target. A
-reference can be found under `Inline Markup`_, above. `Inline
-hyperlink targets`_ are also possible.
-
-Section headers are implicit targets, referred to by name. See
-Targets_, which is a subsection of `Body Elements`_.
-
-Explicit external targets are interpolated into references such as
-"Python_".
-
-.. _Python: http://www.python.org/
-
-Targets may be indirect and anonymous. Thus `this phrase`__ may also
-refer to the Targets_ section.
-
-__ Targets_
-
-Here's a `hyperlink reference without a target`_, which generates an
-error.
-
-Duplicate Target Names
-``````````````````````
-
-Duplicate names in section headers or other implicit targets will
-generate "info" (level-1) system messages. Duplicate names in
-explicit targets will generate "warning" (level-2) system messages.
-
-Duplicate Target Names
-``````````````````````
-
-Since there are two "Duplicate Target Names" section headers, we
-cannot uniquely refer to either of them by name. If we try to (like
-this: `Duplicate Target Names`_), an error is generated.
-
-Directives
-----------
-
-.. contents:: :local:
-
-These are just a sample of the many reStructuredText Directives. For
-others, please see
-http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html.
-
-Document Parts
-``````````````
-
-An example of the "contents" directive can be seen above this section
-(a local, untitled table of contents_) and at the beginning of the
-document (a document-wide `table of contents`_).
-
-Images
-``````
-
-An image directive (also clickable -- a hyperlink reference):
-
-.. image:: images/title.png
- :target: directives_
-
-A figure directive:
-
-.. figure:: images/title.png
- :alt: reStructuredText, the markup syntax
-
- A figure is an image with a caption and/or a legend:
-
- +------------+-----------------------------------------------+
- | re | Revised, revisited, based on 're' module. |
- +------------+-----------------------------------------------+
- | Structured | Structure-enhanced text, structuredtext. |
- +------------+-----------------------------------------------+
- | Text | Well it is, isn't it? |
- +------------+-----------------------------------------------+
-
- This paragraph is also part of the legend.
-
-Admonitions
-```````````
-
-.. Attention:: Directives at large.
-
-.. Caution::
-
- Don't take any wooden nickels.
-
-.. DANGER:: Mad scientist at work!
-
-.. Error:: Does not compute.
-
-.. Hint:: It's bigger than a bread box.
-
-.. Important::
- - Wash behind your ears.
- - Clean up your room.
- - Call your mother.
- - Back up your data.
-
-.. Note:: This is a note.
-
-.. Tip:: 15% if the service is good.
-
-.. WARNING:: Strong prose may provoke extreme mental exertion.
- Reader discretion is strongly advised.
-
-.. admonition:: And, by the way...
-
- You can make up your own admonition too.
-
-Topics, Sidebars, and Rubrics
-`````````````````````````````
-
-.. sidebar:: Sidebar Title
- :subtitle: Optional Subtitle
-
- This is a sidebar. It is for text outside the flow of the main
- text.
-
- .. rubric:: This is a rubric inside a sidebar
-
- Sidebars often appears beside the main text with a border and
- background color.
-
-.. topic:: Topic Title
-
- This is a topic.
-
-.. rubric:: This is a rubric
-
-Target Footnotes
-````````````````
-
-.. target-notes::
-
-Replacement Text
-````````````````
-
-I recommend you try |Python|_.
-
-.. |Python| replace:: Python, *the* best language around
-
-Compound Paragraph
-``````````````````
-
-.. compound::
-
- This paragraph contains a literal block::
-
- Connecting... OK
- Transmitting data... OK
- Disconnecting... OK
-
- and thus consists of a simple paragraph, a literal block, and
- another simple paragraph. Nonetheless it is semantically *one*
- paragraph.
-
-This construct is called a *compound paragraph* and can be produced
-with the "compound" directive.
-
-Substitution Definitions
-------------------------
-
-An inline image (|example|) example:
-
-.. |EXAMPLE| image:: images/biohazard.png
-
-(Substitution definitions are not visible in the HTML source.)
-
-Comments
---------
-
-Here's one:
-
-.. Comments begin with two dots and a space. Anything may
- follow, except for the syntax of footnotes, hyperlink
- targets, directives, or substitution definitions.
-
- Double-dashes -- "--" -- must be escaped somehow in HTML output.
-
-(View the HTML source to see the comment.)
-
-Error Handling
-==============
-
-Any errors caught during processing will generate system messages.
-
-|*** Expect 6 errors (including this one). ***|
-
-There should be six messages in the following, auto-generated
-section, "Docutils System Messages":
-
-.. section should be added by Docutils automatically

-
- <p>Asterisk, backquote, vertical bar, and underscore are inline
- delimiter characters. Asterisk, backquote, and vertical bar act
- like quote marks; matching characters surround the marked-up word
- or phrase, whitespace or other quoting is required outside them,
- and there can't be whitespace just inside them. If you want to use
- inline delimiter characters literally, <a href="#escaping">escape
- (with backslash)</a> or quote them (with double backquotes; i.e.
- use inline literals).
-
- <p>In detail, the reStructuredText specification says that in
- inline markup, the following rules apply to start-strings and
- end-strings (inline markup delimiters):
-
- <ol>
- <li>The start-string must start a text block or be
- immediately preceded by whitespace or any of&nbsp;
- <samp>' " ( [ {</samp> or&nbsp;<samp>&lt;</samp>.
- <li>The start-string must be immediately followed by non-whitespace.
- <li>The end-string must be immediately preceded by non-whitespace.
- <li>The end-string must end a text block (end of document or
- followed by a blank line) or be immediately followed by whitespace
- or any of&nbsp;<samp>' " . , : ; ! ? - ) ] } / \</samp>
- or&nbsp;<samp>&gt;</samp>.
- <li>If a start-string is immediately preceded by one of&nbsp;
- <samp>' " ( [ {</samp> or&nbsp;<samp>&lt;</samp>, it must not be
- immediately followed by the corresponding character from&nbsp;
- <samp>' " ) ] }</samp> or&nbsp;<samp>&gt;</samp>.
- <li>An end-string must be separated by at least one
- character from the start-string.
- <li>An <a href="#escaping">unescaped</a> backslash preceding a
- start-string or end-string will disable markup recognition, except
- for the end-string of inline literals.
- </ol>
-
- <p>Also remember that inline markup may not be nested (well,
- except that inline literals can contain any of the other inline
- markup delimiter characters, but that doesn't count because
- nothing is processed).

- <h2><a href="#contents" name="escaping" class="backref"
- >Escaping with Backslashes</a></h2>
-
- <p>(<a
- href="../../ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#escaping-mechanism">details</a>)
-
- <p>reStructuredText uses backslashes ("\") to override the special
- meaning given to markup characters and get the literal characters
- themselves. To get a literal backslash, use an escaped backslash
- ("\\"). For example:
-
- <p><table border="1" width="100%" bgcolor="#ffffcc" cellpadding="3">
- <thead>
- <tr align="left" bgcolor="#99CCFF">
- <th width="50%">Raw reStructuredText
- <th width="50%">Typical result
- </thead>
- <tbody>
- <tr valign="top"><td>
- <samp>*escape*&nbsp;``with``&nbsp;"\"</samp>
- <td><em>escape</em> <samp>with</samp> ""
- <tr valign="top"><td>
- <samp>\*escape*&nbsp;\``with``&nbsp;"\\"</samp>
- <td>*escape* ``with`` "\"
- </table>
-
- <p>In Python strings it will, of course, be necessary
- to escape any backslash characters so that they actually
- <em>reach</em> reStructuredText.
- The simplest way to do this is to use raw strings:
-
- <p><table border="1" width="100%" bgcolor="#ffffcc" cellpadding="3">

-
-Structure
----------
-
-From the outset, let me say that "Structured Text" is probably a bit
-of a misnomer. It's more like "Relaxed Text" that uses certain
-consistent patterns. These patterns are interpreted by a HTML
-converter to produce "Very Structured Text" that can be used by a web
-browser.
-
-The most basic pattern recognised is a **paragraph** (quickref__).
-That's a chunk of text that is separated by blank lines (one is
-enough). Paragraphs must have the same indentation -- that is, line
-up at their left edge. Paragraphs that start indented will result in
-indented quote paragraphs. For example::
-
- This is a paragraph. It's quite
- short.
-
- This paragraph will result in an indented block of
- text, typically used for quoting other text.
-
- This is another one.
-
-Results in:
-
- This is a paragraph. It's quite
- short.
-
- This paragraph will result in an indented block of
- text, typically used for quoting other text.
-
- This is another one.
-
-__ quickref.html#paragraphs
-
-Text styles
------------
-
-(quickref__)
-
-__ quickref.html#inline-markup
-
-Inside paragraphs and other bodies of text, you may additionally mark
-text for *italics* with "``*italics*``" or **bold** with
-"``**bold**``".
-
-If you want something to appear as a fixed-space literal, use
-"````double back-quotes````". Note that no further fiddling is done
-inside the double back-quotes -- so asterisks "``*``" etc. are left
-alone.
-
-If you find that you want to use one of the "special" characters in
-text, it will generally be OK -- reStructuredText is pretty smart.
-For example, this * asterisk is handled just fine. If you actually
-want text \*surrounded by asterisks* to **not** be italicised, then
-you need to indicate that the asterisk is not special. You do this by
-placing a backslash just before it, like so "``\*``" (quickref__), or
-by enclosing it in double back-quotes (inline literals), like this::
-
- ``\*``
-
-__ quickref.html#escaping
-
-Lists
------
-
-Lists of items come in three main flavours: **enumerated**,
-**bulleted** and **definitions**. In all list cases, you may have as
-many paragraphs, sublists, etc. as you want, as long as the left-hand
-side of the paragraph or whatever aligns with the first line of text
-in the list item.
-
-Lists must always start a new paragraph -- that is, they must appear
-after a blank line.
-
-**enumerated** lists (numbers, letters or roman numerals; quickref__)
- __ quickref.html#enumerated-lists
-
- Start a line off with a number or letter followed by a period ".",
- right bracket ")" or surrounded by brackets "( )" -- whatever you're
- comfortable with. All of the following forms are recognised::
-
- 1. numbers
-
- A. upper-case letters
- and it goes over many lines
-
- with two paragraphs and all!
-
- a. lower-case letters
-
- 3. with a sub-list starting at a different number
- 4. make sure the numbers are in the correct sequence though!
-
- I. upper-case roman numerals
-
- i. lower-case roman numerals
-
- (1) numbers again
-
- 1) and again
-
- Results in (note: the different enumerated list styles are not
- always supported by every web browser, so you may not get the full
- effect here):
-
- 1. numbers
-
- A. upper-case letters
- and it goes over many lines
-
- with two paragraphs and all!
-
- a. lower-case letters
-
- 3. with a sub-list starting at a different number
- 4. make sure the numbers are in the correct sequence though!
-
- I. upper-case roman numerals
-
- i. lower-case roman numerals
-
- (1) numbers again
-
- 1) and again
-
-**bulleted** lists (quickref__)
- __ quickref.html#bullet-lists
-
- Just like enumerated lists, start the line off with a bullet point
- character - either "-", "+" or "*"::
-
- * a bullet point using "*"
-
- - a sub-list using "-"
-
- + yet another sub-list
-
- - another item
-
- Results in:
-
- * a bullet point using "*"
-
- - a sub-list using "-"
-
- + yet another sub-list
-
- - another item
-
-**definition** lists (quickref__)
- __ quickref.html#definition-lists
-
- Unlike the other two, the definition lists consist of a term, and
- the definition of that term. The format of a definition list is::
-
- what
- Definition lists associate a term with a definition.
-
- *how*
- The term is a one-line phrase, and the definition is one or more
- paragraphs or body elements, indented relative to the term.
- Blank lines are not allowed between term and definition.
-
- Results in:
-
- what
- Definition lists associate a term with a definition.
-
- *how*
- The term is a one-line phrase, and the definition is one or more
- paragraphs or body elements, indented relative to the term.
- Blank lines are not allowed between term and definition.
-
-Preformatting (code samples)
-----------------------------
-(quickref__)
-
-__ quickref.html#literal-blocks
-
-To just include a chunk of preformatted, never-to-be-fiddled-with
-text, finish the prior paragraph with "``::``". The preformatted
-block is finished when the text falls back to the same indentation
-level as a paragraph prior to the preformatted block. For example::
-
- An example::
-
- Whitespace, newlines, blank lines, and all kinds of markup
- (like *this* or \this) is preserved by literal blocks.
- Lookie here, I've dropped an indentation level
- (but not far enough)
-
- no more example
-
-Results in:
-
- An example::
-
- Whitespace, newlines, blank lines, and all kinds of markup
- (like *this* or \this) is preserved by literal blocks.
- Lookie here, I've dropped an indentation level
- (but not far enough)
-
- no more example
-
-Note that if a paragraph consists only of "``::``", then it's removed
-from the output::
-
- ::
-
- This is preformatted text, and the
- last "::" paragraph is removed
-
-Results in:
-
-::
-
- This is preformatted text, and the
- last "::" paragraph is removed
-
-Sections
---------
-
-(quickref__)
-
-__ quickref.html#section-structure
-
-To break longer text up into sections, you use **section headers**.
-These are a single line of text (one or more words) with adornment: an
-underline alone, or an underline and an overline together, in dashes
-"``-----``", equals "``======``", tildes "``~~~~~~``" or any of the
-non-alphanumeric characters ``= - ` : ' " ~ ^ _ * + # < >`` that you
-feel comfortable with. An underline-only adornment is distinct from
-an overline-and-underline adornment using the same character. The
-underline/overline must be at least as long as the title text. Be
-consistent, since all sections marked with the same adornment style
-are deemed to be at the same level::
-
- Chapter 1 Title
- ===============
-
- Section 1.1 Title
- -----------------
-
- Subsection 1.1.1 Title
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Section 1.2 Title
- -----------------
-
- Chapter 2 Title
- ===============
-
-This results in the following structure, illustrated by simplified
-pseudo-XML::
-
- <section>
- <title>
- Chapter 1 Title
- <section>
- <title>
- Section 1.1 Title
- <section>
- <title>
- Subsection 1.1.1 Title
- <section>
- <title>
- Section 1.2 Title
- <section>
- <title>
- Chapter 2 Title
-
-(Pseudo-XML uses indentation for nesting and has no end-tags. It's
-not possible to show actual processed output, as in the other
-examples, because sections cannot exist inside block quotes. For a
-concrete example, compare the section structure of this document's
-source text and processed output.)
-
-Note that section headers are available as link targets, just using
-their name. To link to the Lists_ heading, I write "``Lists_``". If
-the heading has a space in it like `text styles`_, we need to quote
-the heading "```text styles`_``".
-
-
-Document Title / Subtitle
-`````````````````````````
-
-The title of the whole document is distinct from section titles and
-may be formatted somewhat differently (e.g. the HTML writer by default
-shows it as a centered heading).
-
-To indicate the document title in reStructuredText, use a unique adornment
-style at the beginning of the document. To indicate the document subtitle,
-use another unique adornment style immediately after the document title. For
-example::
-
- ================
- Document Title
- ================
- ----------
- Subtitle
- ----------
-
- Section Title
- =============
-
- ...
-
-Note that "Document Title" and "Section Title" above both use equals
-signs, but are distict and unrelated styles. The text of
-overline-and-underlined titles (but not underlined-only) may be inset
-for aesthetics.
-
-
-Images
-------
-
-(quickref__)
-
-__ quickref.html#directives
-
-To include an image in your document, you use the the ``image`` directive__.
-For example::
-
- .. image:: images/biohazard.png
-
-results in:
-
-.. image:: images/biohazard.png
-
-The ``images/biohazard.png`` part indicates the filename of the image
-you wish to appear in the document. There's no restriction placed on
-the image (format, size etc). If the image is to appear in HTML and
-you wish to supply additional information, you may::
-
- .. image:: images/biohazard.png
- :height: 100
- :width: 200
- :scale: 50
- :alt: alternate text
-
-See the full `image directive documentation`__ for more info.
