About RST (reStructuredText)
reStructuredText (RST) is a lightweight markup language used primarily in the Python documentation ecosystem. It's human-readable and can be converted to formats like HTML, LaTeX, and more. RST is commonly used for software documentation, especially with tools like Sphinx.
Common RST Syntax
- Headers: Underlined with =, -, ~, etc.
- Lists: Use *, -, or + for bullet points
- Links: `Link text <url>`_
- Code blocks: Indented or using :: followed by indentation
- Bold/Italic: **bold**, *italic*
