Consider the following rst file, called Tiny.rst, and placed somewhere in the Sage doc tree where I know that things work properly.

Tiny Test File
==============
A command
---------
Here's an example.
::
sage: factor(2012)
2^2 * 503
Functions in Sage
-----------------
Let's do some functions.
::
sage: f(x)=x^2
sage: f(x)
x^2
Let's ask Sage what the function is one more time.
::
sage: f(x)
x^2
When I test it, regular commands and commands together test fine. But commands with user-defined things that are in another literal block don't.
sage -t devel/sage-main/doc/en/.../Tiny.rst

The temporary doctesting directory
/Users/.../.sage/tmp/new_host_2.home-49485
was not removed: it is not empty, presumably because doctests
failed or doctesting was interrupted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following tests failed:
sage -t devel/sage-main/doc/en/.../Tiny.rst # 1 doctests failed
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Timings have been updated.
If you remove the words before the second f(x), the same thing happens.
So what gives? Clearly a lot of the documentation doesn't have this issue.
