[New-bugs-announce] [issue36675] Doctest directives and comments not visible or missing from code samples

[Steven D'Aprano]

New submission from Steven D'Aprano <steve+python at pearwood.info>:

(Apologies if this is the wrong place for reporting website bugs.)

The website is not rendering doctest directives or comments, either that or the comments have been stripped from the examples.

On the doctest page itself, all the comments are missing:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/doctest.html#directives

The first example says:

    >>> print(list(range(20))) 
    [0,   1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9,
    10,  11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]

but without the directive, the test would fail. Screen shot attached.

Doctest directives are also missing from here:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html



My browser: Firefox 45.1.1

Also checked with text browser "lynx".
