Notes
*****

A note can be used to describe something not in the normal flow of the paragraph. This
is an example of a note.

.. note::

    Using **git commit** after adding your files saves a "Snapshot" of them, so it's very hard
    to lose your work if you *commit often*.

***********
Code Blocks
***********

This paragraph describes how to do **Console Commands**. When showing VPP commands it is recommended
that the command be executed from the linux console as shown. The Highlighting in the final documents
shows up nicely this way.

.. code-block:: console

    $ sudo bash
    # vppctl show interface
                  Name               Idx       State          Counter          Count

The **code-block** construct is also used for code samples. The following shows how to include a block of
"C" code.

.. code-block:: c

   #include <vlib/unix/unix.h>
   abf_policy_t *
   abf_policy_get (u32 index)
   {
     return (pool_elt_at_index (abf_policy_pool, index));
   }

Diffs are generated in the final docs nicely with "::" at the end of the description like so::
