+reStructuredText [literal blocks](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#literal-blocks) are marked with `::` and can be any monospaced text by default.
+However Sphinx interprets them as Python code [by default](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html#rst-literal-blocks).
+If your project uses Sphinx and such a configuration, add `--rst-literal-blocks` to also format such blocks.
