New submission from Chris Jerdonek: The Dev Guide says not to markup True, False, and None in the documentation in a way that generates a link (e.g. ":const:`True`") because "they’re fundamental to the language and should be known to any programmer": http://docs.python.org/devguide/documenting.html#documenting Rather, it says to use "``True``" (and similarly for False and None): This issue is to update the documentation to conform to this guidance. While working on the documentation, I noticed many occurrences of ":const:`True`", for example. See here for some examples, where you can see the hyperlinks: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/tarfile.html#tarfile.TarFile.add ---------- assignee: docs at python components: Documentation messages: 167648 nosy: cjerdonek, docs at python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: fix True/False/None reST markup _______________________________________ Python tracker <report at bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15580> _______________________________________
