text-formatting

I have a reStructuredText document. rST uses =====, etc. as a heading format.

However I need to include some lines that have this text in it, e.g.:

some of my text
=====
stuff
=====
some more of my text

And I don't want the ==== to be interpreted as a heading, i.e. I don't want stuff to be a heading. I would rather that those equal signs are just displayed as is.

Is this possible in rST?
