The PEG rule "case_block" of match statement seems not rendered correctly #149861
Description
Activity
The
case_blocksyntax is here. If the wordblockis an actual syntax term similar toguard, it should be in blue and underlined and linked to theblocksyntax line. But the block syntax seems to be missing from both the doc and pep-0634 Is it the same as a normal compound statement suite? (If so, use that.) Or more restricted?If the link is meant to be missing, then I believe "`!block`" needs something like ":role:" in front.
CC @encukou you missed the one my fix was originally for ;-)
Reacted by Petr ViktorinThis needs to be fixed like #149811.
To be clear, is the solution to remove the exclamation point and rename to `suite?
So
`!block`->`suite`?I see no reason to omit the link.
Reacted by Stan UlbrychI have made a PR to fix this. Could anyone please review it when you’re free? Thanks!
