- reStructuredText Standard Definition Files

-
-This document describes standard definition files, such as sets of
-substitution definitions and interpreted text roles, that can be
-included in reStructuredText documents. The `"include" directive`__
-has a special syntax for these standard definition files, angle
-brackets around the file name::
-
- .. include:: <filename.txt>
-
-__ directives.html#include
-
-The individual data files are stored with the Docutils source code in
-the "docutils" package, in the ``docutils/parsers/rst/include``
-directory.
-
-
-Substitution Definitions
-========================
-
-Many of the standard definition files contain sets of `substitution
-definitions`__, which can be used in documents via `substitution
-references`__. For example, the copyright symbol is defined in
-``isonum.txt`` as "copy"::
-
- .. include:: <isonum.txt>
-
- Copyright |copy| 2003 by John Q. Public, all rights reserved.
-
-__ restructuredtext.html#substitution-definitions
-__ restructuredtext.html#substitution-references
-
-Individual substitution definitions can also be copied from definition
-files and pasted into documents. This has two advantages: it removes
-dependencies, and it saves processing of unused definitions. However,
-multiple substitution definitions add clutter to the document.
-
-Substitution references require separation from the surrounding text
-with whitespace or punctuation. To use a substitution without
-intervening whitespace, you can use the disappearing-whitespace escape
-sequence, backslash-space::
-
- .. include:: isonum.txt
-
- Copyright |copy| 2003, BogusMegaCorp\ |trade|.
-
-Custom substitution definitions may use the `"unicode" directive`__.
-Whitespace is ignored and removed, effectively sqeezing together the
-text::
-
- .. |copy| unicode:: U+000A9 .. COPYRIGHT SIGN
- .. |BogusMegaCorp (TM)| unicode:: BogusMegaCorp U+2122
- .. with trademark sign
-
- Copyright |copy| 2003, |BogusMegaCorp (TM)|.
-
-__ directives.html#unicode
-
-In addition, the "ltrim", "rtrim", and "trim" options may be used with
-the "unicode" directive to automatically trim spaces from the left,
-right, or both sides (respectively) of substitution references::
-
- .. |---| unicode:: U+02014 .. em dash
- :trim:
-
-
-Character Entity Sets
----------------------
-
-The following files contain substitution definitions corresponding to
-XML character entity sets, from the following standards: ISO 8879 &
-ISO 9573-13 (combined), MathML, and XHTML1. They were generated by
-the ``tools/dev/unicode2rstsubs.py`` program from the input file
-unicode.xml__, which is maintained as part of the MathML 2
-Recommentation XML source.

-
-.. [1] There are ``*-wide.txt`` variants for each of these character
- entity set files, containing characters outside of the Unicode
- basic multilingual plane or BMP (wide-Unicode; code points greater
- than U+FFFF). Most pre-built Python distributions are "narrow" and
- do not support wide-Unicode characters. Python *can* be built with
- wide-Unicode support though; consult the Python build instructions
- for details.
-
-For example, the copyright symbol is defined as the XML character
-entity ``&copy;``. The equivalent reStructuredText substitution
-reference (defined in both ``isonum.txt`` and ``xhtml1-lat1.txt``) is
-``|copy|``.
