+Showcase
+========
+
+Some examples of PDF documents produced by rinohtype are collected here. This
+section mainly serves to give users an idea of the level of customization that
+is achievable by means of custom templates and style sheets.
+
+
+Lekis
+-----
+
+:showcase:`Odpisy.pdf` was styled by means of both a custom template and style
+sheet. The custom template (Python) and configuration (INI file):
+
+- configures Czech as the document's language, which prevents a line break
+  after specific words (following Czech typography rules)
+- defines custom title (with vector logo) and colophon pages
+- sets a background for content pages, marking the page header
+- defines a custom back page, listing company contact details
+
+Actually, there are two template configuration files: a base configuration and
+one for a special type of documents. The latter inherits from the base template
+configuration and only overrides what needs changing. In this case, it omits
+the table of contents part from the document. The PDF linked to above is an
+example of such a document.

+.. figure:: showcase/Odpisy.png
+
+   Some pages from :showcase:`Odpisy.pdf`
+
+
+A single style sheet is used for both types of documents. It does not specify
+the Sphinx style sheet included with rinohtype as a base stylesheet so as to
+avoid unexpected changes in the document style in case the Sphinx style sheet
+is updated in a future rinohtype release. The style sheet defines:
+
+- the ``[VARIABLES]`` section defines monospaced, serif and sans-serif
+  typefaces and a set of key colors that are referenced in style definitions
+- custom 'numbering' for headings (square glyph) and bullet lists (fast forward
+  glyph)
+- a top border for certain headings
+- custom in-line titles (in-line images or specific font glyphs) for
+  admonitions
+- coloured styling for the ``menuselection`` role
+- small-capital styling for keyboard shortcuts
