==========================
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.
.. note::
All the examples provided in this chapter are for illustration purposes
only and cannot be regarded as pieces of true technical information.
