======================= Headings Cheat Sheet ======================= Here are the different types of heading taken from the Sphinx documentation http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/rest.html?highlight=heading .. sidebar:: from the Sphinx documentation "Normally, there are no heading levels assigned to certain characters as the structure is determined from the succession of headings." Therefore, this convention is used in Python’s Style Guide for documenting which you may follow: * # with overline, for parts (hash) * \* with overline, for chapters (asterisk) * = for sections (equal sign) * \- for subsections (dash) * ^ for subsubsections (carrot) * " for paragraphs (double quote) When I read that I expected to be able to put all those on one page, and merrily went about my way doing so. When I did it created a runtime error. Or at least I thought. However, as I wrote this page, I found all playing together; ah the joys of development. Disirregardlessly [#foot-note-01]_ [, they play together as described below. Make sure to look at things like the page Table of Contents which are impacted by these hierarchies. =============================== ( = ) with over line, for Title =============================== Single equal sign, under and over, the words for the Title. .. code-block:: python =============================== ( = ) with over line, for Title =============================== ############################### ( # ) with over line, for parts ############################### Known today as the hash, in the united states formerly the pound sign, the text surrounded above and below is for parts. .. code-block:: python ############################### ( # ) with over line, for parts ############################### ********************************** ( * ) with over line, for chapters ********************************** The asterik, when used over and under the text, will create a chapter in reStructuredText markup. .. code-block:: python ********************************** ( * ) with over line, for chapters ********************************** ( = ) underline for Sections ============================ .. code-block:: python (=) underline for Sections ========================== ( - ) Sub-Sections ------------------- .. code-block:: python ( - ) Sub-Sections -------------------- ( ^ ) Sub-sub-sections ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: python ( ^ ) Sub-sub-sections ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ( " ) Paragraphs """"""""""""""""" .. code-block:: python ( " ) Paragraphs """"""""""""""""" .. _Sphinx Documentation: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/rest.html?highlight=heading .. rubric:: Foootnotes ..
