Markup: reStructuredText `code` and `code-block` directives

[trevor]

code and code-block directives are rendered on the commandline, but not online.

% python rest2html reST-block-ghdemo.rst

file testcase reST-block-ghdemo.rst:

testing reST blocks


.. code-block::

  @a = "using code-block"
  puts @a


.. code-block:: ruby

  @a = "using code-block ruby"
  puts @a


.. code::

  @a = "using code"
  puts @a


.. code:: ruby

  @a = "using code ruby"
  puts @a


::

  @a = "using literal block (no syntax sugar)"
  puts @a

ah, looks like it was added after version 0.8.1:

It would be awesome if this could be added into the online github flavored markup. I would guess it would be dead-simple to do, since it's almost exactly the same format as the syntax for GFM.

markdown ```python import this ```

vs.

    .. code:: python

    import this

Is an upgrade to their version of docutils coming soon?

[tnm]

github.com now includes latest docutils, so we do correctly render rSt on the site. :metal:

[iNecas]

Too bad syntax highlighting is not supported :(

[iNecas]

Correction: it doesn't work only in wiki (unless I did something stupid)

[arr2036]

It should be fairly trivial to rewrite the pre blocks that are generated by docutils to the github tripple backtick format, i'll have a go and submit the patch to gollum.

[TylerBrock]

Bump, did this ever... umm get implemented?

[arr2036]

I tried, it wasn't simple, I ran out of time, so probably not.

[TylerBrock]

It actually works, I just did this in a .rst in a repo and it doesn't show it in the preview but will show it in the final rendered form:

.. code:: javascript

    function whatever() {
        return "such color"
    }

Regression: .. code-block and .. code directives not working.

[kot-behemoth]

Having tried this just now, can confirm that neither .. code-block, nor .. code are working. Tried any possible permutation of the official docs, but still nothing.

[mpenning]

@kot-behemoth, the syntax-highlighting regression seems to have been fixed as of Dec 2016... for example, see https://github.com/mpenning/clijockey
