I have been concerned that there is no easy way to know that<br>

I know we are trying to catch things with waf but I was wondering<br>
about a short document that just does things that can be quickly<br>
checked for correctness. Examples of:<br>
<br>
+ math formula<br>
+ citation<br>
+ code example<br>
+ ???<br>

Otherwise, to be confident, I have to know where to look in the<br>
various documents to find examples of things that can break.<br>

Have you looked in the top level README.txt and the Documentation Standard section? I documented a number of the features I used. It may need updating.<br>

There is no template for a directive and more could be added. That document is actually in ReST format or is close to it.<span class=""><br>
