title.
The case of "::"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the reStructuredText point of view, ``::`` glued at the end of a
word means "output ``:`` and introduce a code block", but a ``::``
after a space means "Just introduce a code block".
So in english rst, we see either ``blah blah::`` or ``blah blah. ::``.
In french, we're putting a no-break space before our columns, like:
``Et voilà :``.
Using no-break space in rst is natural, you'll simply write ``Et
voilà ::``, as the ``::`` is not precedded by a normal space it
will output the column and introduce the code block, you're done.
If you don't know how to type a no-break space there's a trick,
translate column column by space, column, space, column column. the
"space column" will render your space and your column as french needs,
and the trailing "space column column" will output nothing and
introduce the code block. No it does not magically inserts a no-break
space, so it's still not really valid french. Yes, better learn how to
type no-break space.
