Empty Section ------------- Transitions ----------- Here's a transition: --------- It divides the section. Transitions may also occur between sections: --------- 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 `__), `anonymous hyperlink references`__ (`a second reference`__), footnote references (manually numbered [1]_, anonymous auto-numbered [#]_, labeled auto-numbered [#label]_, or symbolic [*]_), citation references (see [CIT2002]_), substitution references (|example| & a *trimmed heart* ``(U+2665):`` |heart|), 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). Here is a reference to the doctitle_ and the subtitle_. __ http://www.python.org/ __ https://docutils.sourceforge.io/ 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`); an abbreviation (:ab:`abb.`), an acronym (:ac:`reST`), code (:code:`print "hello world"`); a :sub:`subscript`; a :sup:`superscript` and explicit roles for :title:`Docutils`' :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. * This nested list should be compacted by the HTML writer. .. _target: .. Even if this item contains a target and a comment. 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 Definition Lists ---------------- Term Definition Term : classifier Definition paragraph 1. Definition paragraph 2. Term Definition Term : classifier one : classifier two 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. :credits: .. class:: credits This paragraph has the `credits` class set. (This is actually not about credits but just for ensuring that the class attribute doesn't get stripped away.) 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, too --input=file long options can also have arguments /V DOS/VMS-style option --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. -f <[path]file> Option argumens must start with a letter or be wrapped in angle brackets. -d Angle brackets are also required if an option expects more than one argument. 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 section tests line blocks. Line blocks are body elements which consist of lines and other line blocks. Nested line blocks cause indentation. | This is a line block. It ends with a blank line. | New lines begin with a vertical bar ("|"). | Line breaks and initial indent are significant, and preserved. | Continuation lines are also possible. A long line that is intended to wrap should 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 "|". Another line block, surrounded by paragraphs: | And it's no good waiting by the window | It's no good waiting for the sun | Please believe me, the things you dream of | They don't fall in the lap of no-one 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... A line block, like the following poem by Christian Morgenstern, can also be centre-aligned: .. class:: language-de align-center | **Die Trichter** | | Zwei Trichter wandeln durch die Nacht. | Durch ihres Rumpfs verengten Schacht | fließt weißes Mondlicht | still und heiter | auf   ihren | Waldweg | u. s. | w. | 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) The language of a quote (like any other object) can be specified by a class attribute: .. class:: language-fr .. ReStructuredText est un langage de balisage léger utilisé notamment dans la documentation du langage Python. 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) 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. This is the second paragraph. And this is the third paragraph. .. [*] 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. .. _Another Target: 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 `reStructuredText Directives`__. __ https://docutils.sourceforge.io/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`_).

For example: .. compound:: The 'rm' command is very dangerous. If you are logged in as root and enter :: cd / rm -rf * you will erase the entire contents of your file system. Test the handling and display of compound paragraphs: .. compound:: :class: some-class Compound 2, paragraph 1, compound 2, paragraph 2, * list item 1, * list item 2, compound 2, paragraph 3. .. compound:: Compound 3, only consisting of one paragraph. .. compound:: :: Compound 4. This one starts with a literal block. Compound 4, paragraph following the literal block. Now something *really* perverted -- a nested compound block. This is just to test that it works at all; the results don't have to be meaningful. .. compound:: Compound 5, block 1 (a paragraph). .. compound:: Compound 6 is block 2 in compound 5.

Parsed Literal Blocks ````````````````````` .. parsed-literal:: This is a parsed literal block. This line is indented. The next line is blank. Inline markup is supported, e.g. *emphasis*, **strong**, ``literal text``, :sub:`sub-` and :sup:`super`\ scripts, inline formulas: :math:`A = 2 \pi r^2`, footnotes [1]_, _`hyperlink targets`, and `references `_. Code ```` Blocks of source code can be set with the `code` directive. If the code language is specified, the content is parsed and tagged by the Pygments_ syntax highlighter and can be formatted with a style sheet. (Code parsing is turned off using the ``syntax-highlight`` config setting in the test conversions in order to get identical results with/without installed Pygments highlighter.) .. code:: python print 'This is Python code.' The ``:number-lines:`` option (with optional start value) generates line numbers: .. code:: python :number-lines: 8 # print integers from 0 to 9: for i in range(10): print i For inline code snippets, there is the `code` role, which can be used directly (the code will not be parsed/tagged, as the language is not known) or as base for special code roles, e.g. the LaTeX code in the next paragraph. .. role:: tex(code) :language: tex Docutils uses LaTeX syntax for math directives and roles: :tex:`\alpha = f(x)` prints :math:`\alpha = f(x)`. The ``:code:`` option of the `include` directive sets the included content as a code block, here the rst file ``header_footer.txt`` with line numbers: .. include:: header_footer.txt :code: rst :number-lines: .. _Pygments: http://pygments.org/ Meta ```` The `“meta” directive`__ is used to specify metadata to be stored in, e.g., HTML META tags or ODT file properties. .. meta:: :keywords: reStructuredText, test, parser :description lang=en: A test document, containing at least one example of each reStructuredText construct. __ https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#metadata Substitution Definitions ------------------------ An inline image (|example|) example: .. |EXAMPLE| image:: ../../../docs/user/rst/images/biohazard.png A Unicode example: .. |heart| unicode:: 0x2665 :trim: (Substitution definitions are not visible in the HTML source.)
