Literal Blocks
--------------

Literal blocks are indented, and indicated with a double-colon ("::")
at the end of the preceding paragraph (right here ``-->``)::

    if literal_block:
        text = 'is left as-is'
        spaces_and_linebreaks = 'are preserved'
        markup_processing = None

Or some code formatting ::

     typedef
     
       mpl::push_back<           // >----------------+
                                 //                  |
           mpl::push_back<       // >--------------+ |
                                 //                | |
               mpl::push_back<   // >------------+ | |
                   mpl::vector<> //              | | |
                 , int           //              | | |
               >::type           // first step <-+ | |
             , long              //                | |
           >::type               // second step <--+ |
         , double                //                  |
       >::type                   // third step <-----+
       
     vec;

The central makefile construct is called a *rule*, and is described
with the following syntax:

.. parsed-literal::

   *dependent-target* : *prerequisites*
           *commands*


parsed literal with markup spanning lines. should produce valid LaTeX
code, but the indentation is ragged.

.. parsed-literal::

   Hey!
     *this is some emphasized text
     that spans two lines* and
     this is **some more bold text
     spanning two lines**



a literal block with underscores and markup, the markup ``*``
ruins alignement

.. parsed-literal::

       mpl::push_back<           // >----------------+
                                 //                  |
           mpl::push_back<       // >--------------+ |
                                 // <- *end* ------+-+


inline ``literal`` with double hyphen ``two hyphens: --`` and tripplets
``three hyphens: ---``.

Special characters
------------------

lele needed a patch to process the italian ZopeBook, because
of the tilde ~ and the backquote chars.

1. scaricarlo anche usando un browser web::

     lele:~/zope $ wget http://zope.org/Products/Zope/2.7.0/Zope-2.7.0-linux-x86.tgz
     --00:49:51--  http://zope.org/Products/Zope/2.7.0/Zope-2.7.0-linux-x86.tgz
                => `Zope-2.7.0-linux-x86.tgz'


this works as long as the document is not italian.

bracketts at line start and empty lines

.. parsed-literal::

   with
   [
       _Container=std::map<std::string,std::string>,
       _InIt=std::list<std::string>::iterator
   ]
   *messages continue...*

in spanish ``~n`` is special, this requires special treatment for
literal blocks ::
