Example Documentation
reStructuredText is an easy-to-read, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup syntax and parser system. It is useful for inline program documentation (such as Python docstrings), for quickly creating simple web pages, and for standalone documents. reStructuredText is a proposed revision and reinterpretation of the StructuredText and Setext lightweight markup systems.
reStructuredText is designed for extensibility for specific application domains. Its parser is a component of Docutils.

Whitespace, newlines, blank lines, and all kinds of markup (like *this* or \this) is preserved by literal blocks.
