In rST, a directive's
block_textcontains the entire directive, including options and full, unparsed content.This aligns MyST parser to rST.
Context
I stumbled upon this issue while implementing my own
click:exampleandclick:rundirectives within my Click Extra project: https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/sphinx.htmlMy implementation is trying to report, within these directives, of the absolute line in the document where a problem occured. The line number and offset calculation works perfectly in rST, but requires some hacks to report the right one in MyST.
But even with these hacks, there is no way to retro-actively compute the absolute line number, because the directive object do not carry its unparsed content.
Example
Compare a given rST directive defined as:
Its properties are:
And for its MyST equivalent:
Limitations
Note that it is not perfect, as it is supposed to also contain:
```{name} {arguments}first line), and```line).But I doubt we can find a way to do it unless we introduce heavier refactor.
