WSYWYG Authoring of reST using MS-Word (via pandoc)

Examples formatting by style

This is template document to help allow easy authoring of reST[1] (and other documents) using MS-Word and the open source conversion tool “pandoc” (hyperlinked here).

Style Examples

Normal paragraph with some inline source code followed by some more source code in a block which is in a non-proportional font.

A small section of source
	code which is formatted in plain (ctrl-tab for indent in block,
keep lines close together in the same paragraph using shift-enter)

# or comment space out

Sometimes, it’s not necessary to have things formatted as code but it is useful to have a whole block of text come out as written

Two paragraphs here in block quote style with the line break just here

Or as a new paragraph like this as BLOCK quote (line breaks with shift-enter too) also.

Then back to normal free flowing text. Now for some Formulae – see formula below (ref to Equation 1). Equations are cool too but they are dependent on the rendering engine e.g. LateX[2] (see footnote here too)

Now for some traditional inserts, first some lists.

Lists

• Bulleted lists

  • And a sub-bullet

• Back out

To a normal with an inline “quotation of some sort” and back to the

1. One

2. Two

   1. Two point five?

3. Three

And now some standard inline items. e.g a picture (see Figure 1) and a table (see Table 1 )

[e^{- i\pi} = 1f\left( x \right) = a_{0} + \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}\left( a_{n}\cos\frac{\text{nπx}}{L} + b_{n}\sin\frac{\text{nπx}}{L} \right)]
