Section titles are underlined or overlined & underlined.

Body Elements
=============
Grid table:

+--------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Paragraphs are flush-left,     | Literal block, preceded by "::":: |
| separated by blank lines.      |                                   |
|                                |     Indented                      |
|     Block quotes are indented. |                                   |
+--------------------------------+ or::                              |
| >>> print 'Doctest block'      |                                   |
| Doctest block                  | > Quoted                          |
+--------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| | Line blocks preserve line breaks & indents. [new in 0.3.6]       |
| |     Useful for addresses, verse, and adornment-free lists; long  |
|       lines can be wrapped with continuation lines.                |
