+reStructuredText for PEPs
+=========================
+
+Original PEP source may be written using two standard formats, a
+mildly idiomatic plain text format and a the reStructuredText format
+(also, technically plain text).  These two formats are described in
+PEP 9 and PEP 12 respectively.  The pep2html.py processing and
+installation scripts knows how to produce the html for either PEP
+format, however in order to process reStructuredText PEPs, you must
+install the Docutils package.  If this package is not installed,
+pep2html.py will simply skip any reStructuredText PEPs.
