One of myw own - words in single quotes 'like this' should NOT be turned
into code examples.  Most people do not write code examples in their texts.

Or add the whole special_formats dictionary available in PythonMethods to _.

In general, strucutred text needs a complete rewrite to make it extendable
and customizable.  Using the current structure you end up commenting stuff
out and rewriting sections of the code, which is not a very good way of
working.  But I doubt DC have the time for that.
