===== special symbols =====

==== unicode symbol ====

For example, how to insert "tick" symbol. Find code of symbol here: [[https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/search?q=check+mark#characters|Unicode Characters]]

<code rst>unicode:: U+2714</code>

==== <br /> new line symbol ====
To insert new line:


==== use substition ====

[[https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html#substitutions|substitutions]]

<code rst>
|tick| My table cell test |br|
continues in new line.

.. |br| raw:: html

   <br />

.. |tick| unicode:: U+2714
</code>

Conditional substitution:
<code rst>
.. only:: html

   .. raw:: html

      <a href="http://www.google.com">google</a>

.. only:: latex

   latex specific
</code>

Workaround for different conditionals for ''html'' and ''latex''
<code rst>
.. |br| replace:: |br_html| |br_latex|

.. |br_html| raw:: html

   <br>

.. |br_latex| raw:: latex

   \newline
</code>

Or Sphinx project wide:

<file python conf.py>
rst_prolog = r"""
.. |br| replace:: |br_html| |br_latex|

.. |br_html| raw:: html

   <br />

.. |br_latex| raw:: latex

   \newline
