Lists¶
Description¶
List markup is natural: just place an asterisk at the start of a paragraph and
indent properly. The same goes for numbered lists; they can also be
autonumbered using a # sign:
* This is a bulleted list.
* It has two items, the second
item uses two lines.
1. This is a numbered list.
2. It has two items too.
#. This is a numbered list.
#. It has two items too.
Note that Sphinx disables the use of enumerated lists introduced by alphabetic or roman numerals, such as
A. First item
B. Second item
Nested lists¶
Nested lists are possible, but be aware that they must be separated from the parent list items by blank lines:
* this is
* a list
* with a nested list
* and some subitems
* and here the parent list continues
Definition lists¶
Definition lists are created as follows:
term (up to a line of text)
Definition of the term, which must be indented
and can even consist of multiple paragraphs
next term
Description.
Paragraphs are quoted by just indenting them more than the surrounding paragraphs.
