-Example of inline code links
-----------------------------
-
-this is is a load of ``text`` that has ``plotting.common.utils`` this function in it.
-
-and this should be on a new line
-
-
-Note that to link to a method: :meth:`~met_processing.runner.common.job_runner.run_extraction`
-or a function: :func:`~met_processing.common.met_field_name_constants_parser.parse_constants_file`
-or a class :class:`~met_processing.common.MetDataConstants.MetDataConstants`, the target concerned has to have docs,
-otherwise there will be no file to generate a link to
-
-note that you can also link to :class:`met_processing.met_extraction` modules, but you use the :class: markup for some
-reason
-
-The code blocks above also work in the docstrings.

-Installation instructions
--------------------------
-
-A quickstart on installation can be found in: :doc:`_source/installation`.

-And here I am referring to it again but using a page :ref:`label<installation>`
