RST formatting conventions

OpenStack documentation uses reStructuredText (RST) markup syntax with Sphinx extensions.

RST is a powerful and straightforward markup language, that in combination with Sphinx, provides a wide range of facilities for intelligent and good-looking documentation creation. It uses simple and implicit syntax to introduce a wide range of content elements, such as, titles, code blocks, vertical lists, and many others. All the source content formatted using RST is stored in files with the .rst extension.

To keep the documentation format consistent, follow the guidelines included in this chapter for all the RST source content. When in doubt use simpler formatting.
