+==============================
+Validating NumpyDoc docstrings
+==============================
+
+One tool for validating docstrings is to see how an object's dosctring
+translates to Restructured Text.  Using numpydoc as a command-line tool
+facilitates this. For example to see the Restructured Text generated
+for ``numpy.ndarray``, use:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ python -m numpydoc numpy.ndarray
