Title
=====
Subtitle
--------
Titles are underlined (or over-
and underlined) with a printing
nonalphanumeric 7-bit ASCII
character. Recommended choices
are "``= - ` : ' " ~ ^ _ * + # < >``".
The underline/overline must be at
least as long as the title text.
A lone top-level (sub)section
is lifted up to be the document's
(sub)title.
Inline syntaxes
---------------
*emphasis*
**strong emphasis**
`interpreted text`
``inline literal``
http://docutils.sf.net/
Bullet lists
------------
- This is item 1
- This is item 2
- Bullets are "-", "*" or "+".
Continuing text must be aligned
after the bullet and whitespace.
Note that a blank line is required
before the first item and after the
last, but is optional between items.
Enumerated lists
----------------
3. This is the first item
4. This is the second item
5. Enumerators are arabic numbers,
single letters, or roman numerals
6. List items should be sequentially
numbered, but need not start at 1
(although not all formatters will
honour the first index).
#. This item is auto-enumerated
Definition lists
----------------
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.
Field lists
-----------
:Authors:
Tony J. (Tibs) Ibbs,
David Goodger
(and sundry other good-natured folks)
:Version: 1.0 of 2001/08/08
:Dedication: To my father.
Options lists
-------------
-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
/V DOS/VMS-style options too
Literal Blocks
--------------
A paragraph containing only two colons
indicates that the following indented
or quoted text is a literal block.
::
Whitespace, newlines, blank lines, and
all kinds of markup (like *this* or
\this) is preserved by literal blocks.
The paragraph containing only '::'
will be omitted from the result.
The ``::`` may be tacked onto the very
end of any paragraph. The ``::`` will be
omitted if it is preceded by whitespace.
The ``::`` will be converted to a single
colon if preceded by text, like this::
It's very convenient to use this form.
Literal blocks end when text returns to
the preceding paragraph's indentation.
This means that something like this
is possible::
We start here
and continue here
and end here.
Per-line quoting can also be used on
unindented literal blocks::
> Useful for quotes from email and
> for Haskell literate programming.

Block quotes
------------
Block quotes are just:
Indented paragraphs,
and they may nest.
Doctest blocks
--------------
Doctest blocks are interactive
Python sessions. They begin with
"``>>>``" and end with a blank line.
>>> print "This is a doctest block."
This is a doctest block.
Tables
------
Grid table:
+------------+------------+-----------+
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
+============+============+===========+
| body row 1 | column 2 | column 3 |
+------------+------------+-----------+
| body row 2 | Cells may span columns.|
+------------+------------+-----------+
| body row 3 | Cells may | - Cells |
+------------+ span rows. | - contain |
| body row 4 | | - blocks. |
+------------+------------+-----------+
Simple table:

Inputs Output

A B A or B
===== ===== ======
False False False
True False True
False True True

===== ===== ======
Transitions
-----------
A transition marker is a horizontal line
of 4 or more repeated punctuation
characters.
------------
A transition should not begin or end a
section or document, nor should two
transitions be immediately adjacent.
Footnotes
---------
Footnote references, like [5]_.
Note that footnotes may get
rearranged, e.g., to the bottom of
the "page".
.. [5] A numerical footnote. Note there's no colon after the ``]``.
Autonumbered footnotes are
possible, like using [#]_ and [#]_.
.. [#] This is the first one.
.. [#] This is the second one.
They may be assigned 'autonumber
labels' - for instance,
[#fourth]_ and [#third]_.
.. [#third] a.k.a. third_
.. [#fourth] a.k.a. fourth_
Auto-symbol footnotes are also
possible, like this: [*]_ and [*]_.
.. [*] This is the first one.
.. [*] This is the second one.
Citations
---------
Citation references, like [CIT2002]_.
Note that citations may get
rearranged, e.g., to the bottom of
the "page".
.. [CIT2002] A citation (as often used in journals).
Citation labels contain alphanumerics,
underlines, hyphens and fullstops.
Case is not significant.
Given a citation like [this]_, one
can also refer to it like this_.
.. [this] here.
Hyperlink Targets
-----------------
External hyperlinks, like Python_.
.. _Python: http://www.python.org/
External hyperlinks, like `Python
<http://www.python.org/>`_.
Internal crossreferences, like example_.
.. _example:
This is an example crossreference target.
Python_ is `my favourite
programming language`__.
.. _Python: http://www.python.org/
__ Python_
Titles are targets, too
=======================
Implict references, like `Titles are
targets, too`_.
Directives
----------
For instance:
.. image:: images/ball1.gif
The |biohazard| symbol must be used on containers used to dispose of medical waste.
.. |biohazard| image:: biohazard.png
Comments
--------
.. This text will not be shown
(but, for instance, in HTML might be
rendered as an HTML comment)
An "empty comment" does not
consume following blocks.
(An empty comment is ".." with
blank lines before and after.)
..
So this block is not "lost",
despite its indentation.
