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.

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 "``::``".

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.
