[Python-Dev] rest markup in ctypes docs (original) (raw)

There are a few cases where the ctypes docs are rendered incorrectly:

http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ctypes.html#function-prototypes

This looks as if 'prototype' would be a symbol exposed by ctypes; it is not - it is used as a placeholder for the object returned by calls to the ctypes.CFUNCTYPE, ctypes.WINFUNCTYPE, and ctypes.PYFUNCTYPE functions above.

The rest markup is like this:

.. function:: prototype(address) :noindex:

Returns a foreign function at the specified address.

Some lines below, it looks like ctypes would export '1', '2', and '4'. Here is the markup:

.. function:: prototype(address) :noindex:

Returns a foreign function at the specified address.

How can this be fixed?

-- Thanks, Thomas
