+Normal verbatim elements result in block elements. But sometimes you'll want
+to generate rST references where they need to be rendered inline with the text.
+For example::
+
+   /// Some kind of method
+   ///
+   /// @param something a parameter
+   /// @returns the same value provided in something param
+   ///
+   /// @verbatim embed:rst:inline some inline text @endverbatim
+
+For these kinds of references, you can use an **embed:rst:inline** tag as
+shown in the above example.
