ReStructuredText

Markdown and RST supported by this forum
========================================
This is a cheat sheet for the *reStructuredText* dialect as implemented by
Nim's documentation generator which has been reused for this forum.
See also the
`official RST cheat sheet <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/cheatsheet.txt>`_
or the `quick reference <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html>`_
for further information.
Elements of **markdown** are also supported.
Inline elements
---------------
Ordinary text may contain *inline elements*:
=============================== ============================================
Plain text Result
=============================== ============================================
``*italic text*`` *italic text*
``**bold text**`` **bold text**
``***italic bold text***`` ***italic bold text***
\``verbatim text \`` ``verbatim text``
``http://docutils.sf.net/`` http://docutils.sf.net/
``\\escape`` \\escape
=============================== ============================================
Quoting other users can be done by prefixing their message with ``>``::
> Hello World
Hi!
Which will result in:
> Hello World
Hi!
Links
-----
Links are either direct URLs like ``https://nim-lang.org`` or written like
this::
`Nim <https://nim-lang.org>`_
Or like this::
`<https://nim-lang.org>`_
Code blocks
-----------
The code blocks can be written in the same style as most common Markdown
flavours::
```nim
if x == "abc":
echo "xyz"
```
or using RST syntax::
.. code-block:: nim
if x == "abc":
echo "xyz"
Both are rendered as:
.. code-block:: nim
if x == "abc":
echo "xyz"
Apart from Nim, the programming languages C, C++, Java and C# also
have highlighting support.
Literal blocks
--------------
These are introduced by '::' and a newline. The block is indicated by indentation:
::
::
if x == "abc":
echo "xyz"
The above is rendered as::
if x == "abc":
echo "xyz"
Bullet lists
------------
Bullet lists look like this::
* Item 1
* Item 2 that
spans over multiple lines
* Item 3
* Item 4
- bullet lists may nest
- item 3b
- valid bullet characters are ``+``, ``*`` and ``-``
The above rendered as:
* Item 1
* Item 2 that
spans over multiple lines
* Item 3
* Item 4
- bullet lists may nest
- item 3b
- valid bullet characters are ``+``, ``*`` and ``-``
Enumerated lists
----------------
Enumerated lists are written like this::
1. This is the first item
2. This is the second item
3. Enumerators are arabic numbers,
single letters, or roman numerals
#. This item is auto-enumerated
They are rendered as:
1. This is the first item
2. This is the second item
3. Enumerators are arabic numbers,
single letters, or roman numerals
#. This item is auto-enumerated
Tables
------
Only *simple tables* are supported. They are of the form::
================== =============== ===================
header 1 header 2 header n
================== =============== ===================
Cell 1 Cell 2 Cell 3
Cell 4 Cell 5; any Cell 6
cell that is
not in column 1
may span over
multiple lines
Cell 7 Cell 8 Cell 9
================== =============== ===================
This results in:
================== =============== ===================
header 1 header 2 header n
================== =============== ===================
Cell 1 Cell 2 Cell 3
Cell 4 Cell 5; any Cell 6
cell that is
not in column 1
may span over
multiple lines
Cell 7 Cell 8 Cell 9
================== =============== ===================
Images
------
Image embedding is supported. This includes GIFs as well as mp4 (for which a
<video> tag will be automatically generated).
For example:
```
.. image:: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Dog_morphological_variation.png
```
Will render as:
.. image:: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Dog_morphological_variation.png
And a GIF example:
```
.. image:: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/Rotating_earth_%28large%29.gif
```
Will render as:
.. image:: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/Rotating_earth_%28large%29.gif
You can also specify the size of the image:
```
.. image:: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Dog_morphological_variation.png
:width: 40%
```
.. image:: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Dog_morphological_variation.png
