Problem with blank line in interactive session

Question

In one of the sections of one technical document that I'm writing using reStructuredText I want to include a interactive session and this output.

Example:

>>> help(module)
    asdasd
    asdasd

    asdasd

When I process with sphinx-build to build a html output the output is not the expected because the blank line it breaks the block.

There is any way to fix the issue?

Answer 1

Doctest blocks are text blocks which begin with ">>> ", the Python interactive interpreter main prompt, and end with a blank line. --rST Markup Specification

You may use an indented literal block or a "code" or "code-block" directive.

.. code:: pycon

   >>> help(module)
       asdasd
       asdasd

       asdasd
