| Description | The RST (reStructuredText) format is a lightweight markup language used for creating structured plain text documents. It is designed to be easy to read and write, while also allowing for easy conversion to other formats like HTML, LaTeX, and PDF. RST documents use simple and intuitive syntax to denote headings, lists, links, emphasis, and other formatting elements. Additionally, RST supports features such as tables, footnotes, and directives for including code blocks, images, and other elements.
