Generic items¶

These are the things that don’t quite fit into other groupings.

Inline Markup¶

One of the nice things about markup languages is the ability to have inline markup. This makes the presentation much nicer. The bold text shouldn’t be too overbearing. It is very common to have inline code as well. It is important to ensure that the inline code doesn’t have a line height that is greater than the regular prose; otherwise the spacing looks weird.

It is also possible to use explicit roles to do things like a _subscript, a ^superscript, emphasis, strong, and literal.

Hyperlinks¶

It is a website, so it’ll have hyperlinks like http://www.python.org (inline), or Python [4] (external reference), example (internal reference), Python web site (external hyperlinks with embedded URI), footnote references (manually numbered [1], anonymous auto-numbered [3], labeled auto-numbered [2], or symbolic [*]), citation references ([12]), substitution references (), and inline hyperlink targets (see Targets below for a reference back to here).

reStructuredText has character-level inline markup too. It’s ugly to write, but someone might be using it, so here’s an example: reStructuredText.

It is also possible to link to documented items, such as api_sample.RandomNumberGenerator.

Interpreted text¶

The default role for “interpreted text” (AKA single backticks) is Title Reference. There are other reference syntaxes as well: PEP 287 and RFC 2822.

If the --pep-references option was supplied, there should be a live link to PEP 258 here.

GUI labels¶

According to the RST demo, GUI labels (like this label) are a way to indicate that some action is to be taken by the user. Like inline code literals, GUI labels should not run over line height.

Long inline code wrapping¶

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).

Math¶

This is a test. Here is an equation: \(X_{0:5} = (X_0, X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4)\). Here is another:

(1)¶\[\nabla^2 f = \frac{1}{r^2} \frac{\partial}{\partial r} \left( r^2 \frac{\partial f}{\partial r} \right) + \frac{1}{r^2 \sin \theta} \frac{\partial f}{\partial \theta} \left( \sin \theta \, \frac{\partial f}{\partial \theta} \right) + \frac{1}{r^2 \sin^2\theta} \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial \phi^2}\]

You can add a link to equations like the one above (1) by using :eq:.

Citations¶

Here’s a reference to the above, [12] citation.

Targets¶

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.

Explicit external targets are interpolated into references such as “Python [4]”.

Targets may be indirect and anonymous. Thus this phrase may also refer to the Targets section.

Centered text¶

You can create a statement with centered text with .. centered::

This is centered text!

Rubric¶

A rubric is like an informal heading that doesn’t correspond to the document’s structure.

—https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#rubric

Wikipedia says it is something different:

A rubric is a word or section of text that is traditionally written or printed in red ink for emphasis.

—https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubric

This is stylized as docutils tells us to stylize it, since it is used for footnote headers (see end of https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html)
