New Meta-PEP, "Sample reStructuredText PEP Template"
====================================================
* I've presumed to use "PEP 12", as the next available Meta-PEP
number; I'll change it if I'm mistaken. (Barry: PEP 12 was agreed
on as fine).
* Its status is "Draft". If acceptable as-is, please change the
Status header to "Active". (Barry: Done)
* I've listed Barry as co-author. Since much of the text was copied
from PEP 9, I figure it's only fair. (Barry: thanks!)
* This PEP is marked up using reStructuredText, naturally.
* The "Abstract", "Rationale", and "How to Use This Template" sections
are based on PEP 9. "Abstract" has a reference back to PEP 9.
"Rationale" contains a one-paragraph rationale for reStructuredText
PEPs. "How to Use This Template" has been marked up a bit.
* The "ReStructuredText PEP Formatting Requirements" section is the
big difference. Subsection "General" contains the same text-level
instructions as in PEP 9: two spaces at sentence end; 70 columns; no
tabs; Emacs stanza. The rest of the section describes the
reStructuredText syntax and PEP-specific conventions.
