I found a few formatting bits in the RDoc RDoc. But I am looking how  
to force a   
 in my doc. I found a request about it in this group  
from 2006 but there was no conclusion.

The only ways I can find are to use bullet points (not what I want) or  
to a double vertical space (also not what I want).

Is there a source for more formatting in RDoc?

Thanks,

Dave

All documentation for RDoc is located here:  
[http://rdoc.rubyforge.org/](http://rdoc.rubyforge.org/)

Clicking on any RDoc link in the document will take you to a list of  
supported markup. I don’t see a way to do what you want, however. The  
markup supported by RDoc can be extended:  
[http://rdoc.rubyforge.org/classes/RDoc/Markup.html](http://rdoc.rubyforge.org/classes/RDoc/Markup.html)

The best thing to do probably is to put in an enhancement request for  
one:
