RST: how to present the output of a `tree` command?

Question

I would like to present the output of a tree command in a Restructured Text document. I am using this code:

.. code-block:: bash

   project
   ├── demo.py
   ├── LICENCE.txt
   ├── processes          
   │   ├── area.py
   │   └── bboxinout.py
   ├── pywps.cfg          
   ├── requirements.txt
   ├── server.py          
   ├── setup.py
   ├── static
   ├── templates
   └── tests

Which is producing the following output:

I then tried to replace the tree characters with unicode definitions, such as:

.. |hbar| unicode:: 01C0 ..

But the |hbar| sequence is printed verbatim when used inside a code block.

Is there any other way to force these characters to be printed correctly?

Answer 1

In ReST, I use literal blocks to represent tree structures:

::

    project
    ├── demo.py
    ├── LICENCE.txt
    ├── processes          
    │   ├── area.py
    │   └── bboxinout.py
    ├── pywps.cfg          
    ├── requirements.txt
    ├── server.py          
    ├── setup.py
    ├── static
    ├── templates
    └── tests

I hope this helps!
