Definition Lists#

Definition

I have no clue why the definition list below is classified as a different style of definition list than the one above.

Is it the spaces in the term?

Maybe it was the multiple line paragraph in the line below that caused this?

Is it the paragraph above the list maybe?

I guess a lot of these lists don’t have leading paragraphs?

Is it everything all at once?

Who knows?!

Option Lists#

For listing command-line options:

-a

command-line option “a”

-b file

options can have arguments and long descriptions

--long

options can be long also

--input=file

long options can also have arguments

--very-long-option

The description can also start on the next line.

The description may contain multiple body elements, regardless of where it starts.

-x, -y, -z

Multiple options are an “option group”.

-v, --verbose

Commonly-seen: short & long options.

-1 file, --one=file, --two file

Multiple options with arguments.

/V

DOS/VMS-style options too

There must be at least two spaces between the option and the description.

Glossary#

Here’s another glossary, with more detail. The important bit here is that the contents of the definition are multi-paragraph.

Import Package#

A Python module which can contain other modules or recursively, other packages.

An import package is more commonly referred to with the single word “package”, but this guide will use the expanded term when more clarity is needed to prevent confusion with a Distribution Package which is also commonly called a “package”.

A repository of distributions with a web interface to automate package discovery and consumption.
