Some formatting tips for Thinkubator
check out the 'edit' version of this page to see how it's done here.
Headings
Underline the line with =, -, or ^ (it will even try to do different levels of heads, if you're consistent.
Horizontal line -- a line of dashes on its own
Character formats
Bold -- two asterisks on either side of a phrase
italics - one asterisk on either side
indented -- just indent with spaces.
Lists
Bullet lists -- start the line with a dash
- thing one
- thing two
- thing three
Numbered lists -- just type the numbers, it indents automatically:
- thing one
- thing two
- thing three.
These are the basics. MUCH more is possible... for a ton more detail, see http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html
