[PATCH] sphinx.rst: Add note about code snippets embedded in the text

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There's a paragraph that explains how to create fixed width text block,
but it doesn't explains how to create fixed width text inline, although
this feature is really used through the documentation. Fix that adding a
quick note about it.
