it's some form of restructured text, which is described at http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html
however, there seem to be various implementations; i don't know if pypi exactly follows what is described there (i know i had a small problem with some detail being inconsistent with that convention used in sphinx). also - if there's any kind of syntax error, pypi displays the entire description literally (and gives no other error feedback that i have found). andrew Luca wrote: > A non python, but pypi only related question: > > Where I can find a reference guide about all what I can do with the > text infos about a pypi egg published? > Looking at others guys code I lear how to make links, bold text, > italic, lists... > For example one time I found how to insert an image in the text, but I > don't remember how. > > There is a official refence about this? > > -- > -- luca > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
