+This is ``docutils.parsers.losslessrst`` package.
+A subclass of the rst parser that retains additional information
+during parsing to allow exact reconstruction of the input.
+(See the ``docutils.parsers.rst`` parser for general documentation
+
+The node structure created is fully compatible with the rst parser.
+Additional information is stored in one attribute per node.
