I'm creating a fitness/nutrition app in Kivy. The problem is that most of the screens involve text for the viewer to read and I don't want the text to be just plain old text like that of a .txt file. I tried looking for something and I found there is a RST rendering module that will make my text look good but after trying for a couple of days, I can't seem to get it working with my code. Also I want to put the text that I will be using with RST into a seperate file so I can keep my code clean, how would I be able to do that?

Rreference: reStructuredText renderer
Create a file called "inFile.txt" with the following text:
.. _top:
Hello world
===========
This is an **emphased text**, some ``interpreted text``.
And this is a reference to top_::
$ print("Hello world")
Replaced "pass" with the following code in your class CalorcalcScreen(Screen):
class CalorcalcScreen(Screen):
text = ""
with open("inFile.txt") as fobj:
for line in fobj:
text += line
At <CalcorcalcScreen>, replace "Label" with "RstDocument" and remove "document = RstDocument..."
