===========================
The reStructuredText Domain
===========================
.. versionadded:: 1.0
The reStructuredText domain (name **rst**) provides the following directives:
.. rst:directive:: .. rst:directive:: name
Describes a reStructuredText directive.
The *name* can be a single directive name or actual directive syntax
(`..` prefix and `::` suffix) with arguments that will be rendered differently.
For example::
.. rst:directive:: foo
Foo description.
.. rst:directive:: .. bar:: baz
Bar description.
will be rendered as:
.. rst:directive:: foo
:no-contents-entry:
:no-index-entry:
Foo description.
.. rst:directive:: .. bar:: baz
:no-contents-entry:
:no-index-entry:
Bar description.
.. rst:directive:: .. rst:directive:option:: name
Describes an option for reStructuredText directive. The *name* can be a single option
name or option name with arguments which separated with colon (``:``).
For example::
.. rst:directive:: toctree
.. rst:directive:option:: caption: caption of ToC
.. rst:directive:option:: glob
will be rendered as:
.. rst:directive:: toctree
:no-index:
.. rst:directive:option:: caption: caption of ToC
:no-index:
.. rst:directive:option:: glob
:no-index:
.. rubric:: options
.. rst:directive:option:: type: description of argument
:type: text
Describe the type of option value.
For example::
.. rst:directive:: toctree
.. rst:directive:option:: maxdepth
:type: integer or no value
.. versionadded:: 2.1
.. rst:directive:: .. rst:role:: name
Describes a reStructuredText role. For example::
.. rst:role:: foo
Foo description.
will be rendered as:
.. rst:role:: foo
:no-contents-entry:
:no-index-entry:
Foo description.
.. _rst-xref-roles:
These roles are provided to refer to the described objects:
.. rst:role:: rst:dir
Reference directives and directive options. Examples:
* Use ``:rst:dir:`my-directive``` to reference a directive.
* Use ``:rst:dir:`my-directive:my-option``` to reference a
directive option.
.. rst:role:: rst:role
