So just to be clear, I can change the above to the following and it will work.
def QuaternionAlgebra(K, a, b, names=['i','j','k'], denom=1):
"""
Return the quaternion algebra over `K` generated by
`i`, `j`, and `k` such that
`i^2 = a`, `j^2 = b`, and `ij=-ji=k`.
INPUT:
- ``K`` - field
- ``a`` - element of K
- ``b`` - element of K
- ``names`` - list of three strings
- ``denom`` - (optional, default 1)
EXAMPLES::
sage: A.<i,j,k> = QuaternionAlgebra(QQ, -1,-1)
sage: i^2
-1
sage: j^2
-1
sage: i*j
k
sage: j*i
-k
sage: (i + j + k)^2
-3
sage: A.ramified_primes()
[2]
"""
Is there a command in sage-3.4.alpha0 that I can use to validate ReST
markup? Or even one not in Sage?
