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

    Can somebody please explain this?

    .. 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?
