Note that a blank line is required before the first item and after the last, but is optional between items.

Enumerated Lists

Enumerated lists:

3. This is the first item
4. This is the second item
5. Enumerators are arabic numbers, single letters, or roman numerals
6. List items should be sequentially numbered, but need not start at 1 (although not all formatters will honour the first index).
7. This item is auto-enumerated

Field Lists

Authors:	Tony J. (Tibs) Ibbs, David Goodger (and sundry other good-natured folks)

Line Blocks

Line blocks are useful for addresses,

verse, and adornment-free lists.

Each new line begins with a

vertical bar ("|").

Line breaks and initial indents

are preserved.

Continuation lines are wrapped portions of long lines; they begin with spaces in place of vertical bars.

Tables

Grid table:

Header 1	Header 2	Header 3
body row 1	column 2	column 3
body row 2	Cells may span columns.
body row 3	Cells may span rows.	Cells contain blocks.
body row 4

Simple table:

Inputs		Output
A	B	A or B
False	False	False
True	False	True
False	True	True
True	True	True

Transitions

A transition marker is a horizontal line

of 4 or more repeated punctuation characters.

---

A transition should not begin or end a section or document, nor should two transitions be immediately adjacent.

Explicit Markup

Hyperlink Targets

External hyperlinks, like Python.

External hyperlinks, like Python.

Internal crossreferences, like example.

This is an example crossreference target.

Python is my favourite programming language.

Directives

For instance:

def my_function():
    "just a test"
    print 8/2
