Maybe I did not express myself clearly. I don't have a problem with highlighting or indentation within a single, complete and continuous block of code. I get trouble when I insert explaining text within nested blocks, especially when I do it at different levels of indentation. In the pages you cite, I cannot find a single example which tries to do this. So something like this is fine: <code> # This is a long and complex block:: if mytest(): for i in myList(): foobar(i) else: for i in yourList(): boofar(i) </code> If I do the following, sphinx cannot keep up ... <code> # This block should be explained step by step:: if mytest(): # Bla, blah blah... # # :: for i in myList(): # The :func:`foobar` function is an interesting choice here ... blah # # :: foobar(i) # Otherwise, myList might not be defined, so we need yours:: else: # More blah... # # :: for i in yourList(): # And here we go again:: boofar(i) </code> Highlighting tends to break starting from `else', and indentation breaks at the second or third level. -- :-- Hans Georg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
