As far as I know, stars are the only way to render a list in restructured txt, otherwise it looses the list formatting.
Try a definition list? Example below. Alan
Returns -------
q, r if mode = 'full': - q : ndarray of float or complex, shape (M, K) - r : ndarray of float or complex, shape (K, N)
K = min(M, N)
r if mode = 'r': - r : ndarray of float or complex, shape (K, N)
a2 if mode = 'economic': - a2 : ndarray of float or complex, shape (M, N)
The diagonal and the upper triangle of a2 contains r, while the rest of the matrix is undefined.
Maybe handle it in a manner similar to the other sections.
q,r <> mode = 'r'' q: [M,N] ndarray The columns of 'q' are orthonomal. r: [K,N] ndarray Upper triangular array. ...
The "<>" standing in for "if". The indentation could be moved out.
Looks good, but what determines that this is a list, the <>? What if you want a list that does not use if's? If this can be made to work, great, but it will probably be much more robust if there's some kind of markup. Stars or dashes would not look that bad imho if there would be no need for blank lines.
That was just a suggestion, I think it can probably be improved upon. Thoughts?
In general a list should just be defined with *. Like: * item 1 * sub-item 1 Hey, a multi-line sub-item works too! * sub-item 2 * item 2
In the specific case of a variable number of return values, I do not like the if..else construction. How about this:
q : ndarray The q-value. If mode='r' this contains .... If mode='economic' .... r : ndarray, optional The r-value. Is only returned if mode='r'.
'optional' could be changed to 'conditional' or something like that.
I agree this is better and I also thought about doing it this way. Another thought: if "terminal" refers to ipython then it should be possible that ipython removes some of the markup (stars?) when doing its magic, or not? Although that wouldn't help with a plain terminal or command shell. Josef

Also, if someone feels like tackling this, please make multi-line list items work at the same time. See http://code.google.com/p/pydocweb/issues/detail?id=46
