+This example defines 3 ``RecordType``s:
 
-- A Project with one obligatory property "datatype"
-- A Person with a "firstName" and a "lastName" (as recommended properties)
-- A LabbookEntry with multiple recommended properties of different data types
+- A ``Project`` with one obligatory property ``datatype``

+- A ``LabbookEntry`` with multiple recommended properties of different data types
 
-One major advantage of using this interface (in contrast to the standard python interface) is that properties can be defined and added to record types "on-the-fly". E.g. the three lines for "firstName" as sub entries of Person have two effects on CaosDB:
