This chapter provides a brief tutorial on how to use the reStructuredText (reST) markup language (refer to http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html). It is a plain text markup language widely used in the Python community to document packages. The great thing about reST is that the text is still readable, since the markup syntax does not obfuscate the text as LaTeX would.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- reStructuredText
- Section structure
- Lists
- Inline markup
- Literal block
- Links
