+
+QMP Examples can be added by using the ``.. qmp-example::``
+directive. In its simplest form, this can be used to contain a single
+QMP code block which accepts standard JSON syntax with additional server
+directionality indicators (``->`` and ``<-``), and elisions (``...``).
+
+Optionally, a plaintext title may be provided by using the ``:title:``
+directive option. If the title is omitted, the example title will
+default to "Example:".
+
+A simple QMP example::
+
+  # .. qmp-example::
+  #    :title: Using query-block
+  #
+  #    -> { "execute": "query-block" }
+  #    <- { ... }
+
+More complex or multi-step examples where exposition is needed before or
+between QMP code blocks can be created by using the ``:annotated:``
+directive option. When using this option, nested QMP code blocks must be
+entered explicitly with rST's ``::`` syntax.
+
+Highlighting in non-QMP languages can be accomplished by using the
+``.. code-block:: lang`` directive, and non-highlighted text can be
+achieved by omitting the language argument.
 
 For example::
 
+  # .. qmp-example::
+  #    :annotated:
+  #    :title: A more complex demonstration
+  #
+  #    This is a more complex example that can use
