Paragraph Level Markup

Table of Contents

Inline Markup

Paragraphs contain text and may contain inline markup: emphasis, strong emphasis, inline literals, standalone hyperlinks (http://www.python.org), external hyperlinks (Python), internal cross-references (example), external hyperlinks with embedded URIs (Python web site), footnote references (manually numbered¹, anonymous auto-numbered², labeled auto-numbered³, or symbolic⁴), citation references (⁵), substitution references (), and _inline hyperlink targets (see Targets below for a reference back to here). Character-level inline markup is also possible (although exceedingly ugly!) in reStructuredText. Problems are indicated by text (generated by processing errors; this one is intentional).

Also with sphinx.ext.autodoc, which I use in the demo, I can link to test_py_module.test.Foo. It will link you right to my code documentation for it.

The default role for⁶ interpreted text is Title Reference. Here are some explicit interpreted text roles: a PEP reference (PEP 287); an RFC reference (RFC 2822); a _subscript; a ^superscript; and explicit roles for standard inline markup.

GUI labels are a useful way to indicate that Some action is to be taken by the user. The GUI label should not run over line-height so as not to interfere with text from adjacent lines.

Key-bindings indicate that⁷ the read is to press a button on the keyboard or mouse, for example MMB and Shift-MMB. Another useful markup to indicate a user action is to use menuselection this⁸ can⁹ be¹⁰ used¹¹ to¹² show¹³ short¹⁴ and long menus in software. For example, and menuselection can be seen here that breaks is too long to fit on this line. My --> Software --> Some menu --> Some sub menu 1 --> sub menu 2.

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).

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

Very long URLs should be wrapped so lines do not overflow and cause horizontal scrolling: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=very%20long%20url%20example%20of%20a%20url%20that%20is%20extremely%20long%20you%20probably%20want%20to%20avoid%20it%20but%20here%20we%20are

Math

This is a test. Here is an equation: X_0 : 5 = (X₀, X₁, X₂, X₃, X₄). Here is another:

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

You can add a link to equations like the one above This is a label by using :eq:.

Blocks

Literal Blocks

Literal blocks are indicated with a double-colon ("::") at the end of the preceding paragraph (over there -->). They can be indented:

if literal_block:
    text = 'is left as-is'
    spaces_and_linebreaks = 'are preserved'
    markup_processing = None

Or they can be quoted without indentation:

>> Great idea!
>
> Why didn't I think of that?

Line Blocks

This is a line block. It ends with a blank line.
    Each new line begins with a vertical bar ("|").
    Line breaks and initial indents are preserved.
Continuation lines are wrapped portions of long lines; they begin with a space in place of the vertical bar.
    The left edge of a continuation line need not be aligned with the left edge of the text above it.

This is a second line block.

Blank lines are permitted internally, but they must begin with a "|".

Take it away, Eric the Orchestra Leader!

A one, two, a one two three four

Half a bee, philosophically,
    must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be,
    *vis a vis* its entity. D'you see?

But can a bee be said to be
    or not to be an entire bee,
        when half the bee is not a bee,
            due to some ancient injury?

Block Quotes

Block quotes consist of indented body elements:

My theory by A. Elk. Brackets Miss, brackets. This theory goes as follows and begins now. All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle and then thin again at the far end. That is my theory, it is mine, and belongs to me and I own it, and what it is too.

-- Anne Elk (Miss)

Ch'ien / The Creative

Above CH'IEN THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN

Below CH'IEN THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN

The first hexagram is made up of six unbroken lines. These unbroken lines stand for the primal power, which is light-giving, active, strong, and of the spirit. The hexagram is consistently strong in character, and since it is without weakness, its essence is power or energy. Its image is heaven. Its energy is represented as unrestricted by any fixed conditions in space and is therefore conceived of as motion. Time is regarded as the basis of this motion. Thus the hexagram includes also the power of time and the power of persisting in time, that is, duration.

The power represented by the hexagram is to be interpreted in a dual sense in terms of its action on the universe and of its action on the world of men. In relation to the universe, the hexagram expresses the strong, creative action of the Deity. In relation to the human world, it denotes the creative action of the holy man or sage, of the ruler or leader of men, who through his power awakens and develops their higher nature.

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, which is a subsection of References.

Explicit external targets are interpolated into references such as "Python".

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

Here's a hyperlink reference without a target, which generates an error.

Compound Paragraph

This paragraph contains a literal block:

Connecting... OK
Transmitting data... OK
Disconnecting... OK

and thus consists of a simple paragraph, a literal block, and another simple paragraph. Nonetheless it is semantically one paragraph.

This construct is called a compound paragraph and can be produced with the "compound" directive.
