Using ruff to format doctests in .rst (and other format) files

[jagerber48]

#7146 introduces the ability to format code examples within docstrings in .py files. In this message outlining the proposed strategy it was specifically deemed out of scope to apply formatting to .rst or .md files

Formatting Python code in other formats
This means you won't be able to run the formatter over a .rst or a .md file
and have it format any Python code blocks in it. This initial implementation
will only support reformatting Python snippets within docstrings inside Python
files. We can consider formatting Python code in other formats as a future
project.

I'm opening up this issue to request such an ability be added to ruff it that is not already being considered. Or, if it has been considered, then to discuss the issue or hear why it wouldn't be possible.

Hi! This looks like a duplicate of #8237 — let us know if that doesn't cover your use case. In short, we want to do it we just haven't started yet :)

@zanieb yes, duplicate. I tried looking but didn't find it. Thank you!
