reStructuredText (rst)

Introduction

RST is an easy-to-read, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup syntax and parser system, abbreviated rst. To illustrate what you can do with rst, we provide the same document (that explains what rst is) in three different formats:

• the plain text source: rst.txt

• the html version, created with rst2html rst.txt rst.html: rst.html

• a pdf file, create with rst2latex rst.txt rst.tex; pdflatex rst.tex: rst.pdf
