2.3   What's the standard abbreviation for "reStructuredText"?

"RST" and "ReST" (or "reST") are both acceptable. Care should be taken with capitalization, to avoid confusion with "REST", an acronym for "Representational State Transfer".

The abbreviations "reSTX" and "rSTX"/"rstx" should not be used; they overemphasize reStructuredText's precedessor, Zope's StructuredText.
