[Docutils-users] doc error in quickstart, possible reST error in dbl-backtic-handling

[James G. S. (jim) <jg...@sa...>]

Documentation error:
In
  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickstart.html
  para: Text styles
"""
..by enclosing it in double back-quotes (inline literals), like this:
  ``\*``
"""

has an unintended backslash I believe.


Also, perhaps this is a bug in reST itself, but it may be useful to
document that the closing double-backtic needs to be followed by
whitespace. For example in the online test renderer,
  http://www.hosting4u.cz/jbar/rest/rest.html
typing in
  ``*``moretext
gives 3 errors
  Inline literal start-string without end-string.
  Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
  Inline literal start-string without end-string.
