A Chinese sentence that contains an English word

You will see: How to temporarily switch between Chinese and English in a typical Pinyin input method

This time, Xiaoming is going to write some documentation for his code.

He writes a skeleton in reStructuredText.

By the way, Xiaoming does not like how reST handles titles. He is never sure how many "=" or "-" characters are enough for a title with Chinese characters.

He has switched on his input method and is ready to type some Chinese characters. He is going to input “本文使用reStructuredText格式排版。”, which literally means "This text uses reStructuredText format for type-setting".

He first inputs "本文使用" (means "this text uses").

The next phrase is "reStructuredText", which is an English word.

He presses the SHIFT key to temporarily switch to English mode.

Note the icon on the input menu bar "中" (means "Chinese") has become "英" (means "English") and the icon with "。，" (full-width punctuation) has become ".," (half-width punctuation).

Wikipedia has an entry Halfwidth and fullwidth forms in case you do not know what is "full-width" or "half-width".

He then types "reStructuredText" as in English.

Now he presses the SHIFT key again to switch back to Chinese mode.

Note the icons "中" (means "Chinese") and "。，" (full-width punctuation)

He finishes the sentence by inputting "格式排版。" (means "... format for type-setting.")
