More than 13 years ago we have https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/10077 and https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/10078 that have comments about the case. Some further history might stem from stropping <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stropping_(syntax)>...
Thanks for the pointers. The term "stropping" is new to me :-) For those looking in the docs, one place is here <https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/developer/coding_basics.html#sage-documentation-style> . Yes. That is the origin of my suggestion. No strong opinion from me, except maybe for having consistency within a given file. The INPUT and OUTPUT blocks are related, but they are not directives. Do you think they should be? I don't want to suggest changes from established styles. Currently the sage reference manual is following the rules set in the sage developer guide. Other files follow the Sphinx standard. I agree with "consistency within a given file". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
