For the tabular data above, use table syntax instead.

IMO code blocks should better fit the struct listing above.

What about bullet lists?

Again, use code blocks.

What about using definition lists?

Again, I'd like to see definition lists for above.
See Sphinx primer [1] for examples of markups I point above.
Thanks.
