pytest-codeblocks will only pick up code blocks with python and sh/bash syntax highlighting.

Skipping code blocks

Prefix your code block with a pytest-codeblocks:skip comment to skip

Lorem ipsum
<!--pytest-codeblocks:skip-->
```python
foo + bar  # not working
```
dolor sit amet.

Merging code blocks

Broken-up code blocks can be merged into one with the pytest-codeblocks:cont prefix

Lorem ipsum
```python
a = 1
```
dolor sit amet
<!--pytest-codeblocks:cont-->
```python
# this would otherwise fail since `a` is not defined
a + 1
```

Expected output

You can also define the expected output of a code block:

This
```sh
print(1 + 3)
```
gives
<!--pytest-codeblocks:expected-output-->
```
4
```

Expected errors

Some code blocks are expected to give errors. You can verify this with

The following gives an error:
<!--pytest-codeblocks:expect-error-->
```python
1 / 0
```

The keyword expect-exception is also possible.
