1.3   Transitions

Here's a transition:

It divides the section. Transitions may also occur between sections:

2.1   Paragraphs

A paragraph.

2.2   Bullet Lists

• A bullet list

  • Nested bullet list.

• Item 2.

  Paragraph 2 of item 2.

  • Nested bullet list.
  • Nested item 2.
    • Third level.

2.6   Option Lists

For listing command-line options:

There must be at least two spaces between the option and the description.

2.7   Literal Blocks

Literal blocks are indicated with a double-colon ("::") at the end of the preceding paragraph (over there -->). They can be indented:

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

Or they can be quoted without indentation:

>> Great idea!
>
> Why didn't I think of that?

2.8   Line Blocks

This section tests line blocks. Line blocks are body elements which consist of lines and other line blocks. Nested line blocks cause indentation.

Another line block, surrounded by paragraphs:

Take it away, Eric the Orchestra Leader!

A one, two, a one two three four

Half a bee, philosophically,

must, ipso facto, half not be.

But half the bee has got to be,

vis a vis its entity. D'you see?

But can a bee be said to be

or not to be an entire bee,

when half the bee is not a bee,

due to some ancient injury?

2.9   Block Quotes

Block quotes consist of indented body elements:

My theory by A. Elk. Brackets Miss, brackets. This theory goes as follows and begins now. All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle and then thin again at the far end. That is my theory, it is mine, and belongs to me and I own it, and what it is too.

—Anne Elk (Miss)

2.12   Citations

Here's a reference to the above, [CIT2002], and a [nonexistent]_ citation.

2.13   Targets

This paragraph is pointed to by the explicit "example" target. A reference can be found under Inline Markup, above. Inline hyperlink targets are also possible.

Section headers are implicit targets, referred to by name. See Targets, which is a subsection of Body Elements.

Explicit external targets are interpolated into references such as "Python [5]".

Targets may be indirect and anonymous. Thus this phrase may also refer to the Targets section.

Here's a `hyperlink reference without a target`_, which generates an error.

2.14   Directives

These are just a sample of the many reStructuredText Directives. For others, please see http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html.

2.14.2   Images

An image directive (also clickable -- a hyperlink reference):

Image with multiple IDs:

A centered image:

A left-aligned image:

A right-aligned image:

A figure directive:

A figure is an image with a caption and/or a legend:

re	Revised, revisited, based on 're' module.
Structured	Structure-enhanced text, structuredtext.
Text	Well it is, isn't it?

This paragraph is also part of the legend.

A left-aligned figure.

This is the legend.

This paragraph might flow around the figure...

A centered figure:

This is the caption.

This is the legend.

The legend may consist of several paragraphs.

This paragraph might flow around the figure...

A left-aligned figure:

This is the caption.

This is the legend.

The legend may consist of several paragraphs.

This paragraph might flow around the figure...

2.17   Raw text

This does not necessarily look nice, because there may be missing white space.

It's just there to freeze the behavior.

This is the fourth test with myrawroleclass set.
