Hello Ethan, In addition to Guido's suggestion, the Python Developer Guide's Section 7.4.9 should be helpful. Here's a link to Section 7 on Restructured Text https://docs.python.org/devguide/documenting.html#restructuredtext-primer You may also find the Sphinx project documentation helpful if you need additional details.

This adds entries to the index of the document -- similar to the index at the end of a book. I think single vs. double refers to different types of entries. Check out this page: https://docs.python.org/3/genindex.html

.. index:: single: formatting, string (%) single: interpolation, string (%) single: string; formatting single: string; interpolation single: printf-style formatting single: sprintf-style formatting single: % formatting single: % interpolation
Specifically, what does index mean? What does single vs double vs triple mean? Is there a reference somewhere I can read?
