+| separated by blank lines.      |                                   |
+|                                |     Indented                      |
+|     Block quotes are indented. |                                   |

+| >>> print 'Doctest block'      |                                   |
+| Doctest block                  | > Quoted                          |
++--------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
+| | Line blocks preserve line breaks & indents. [new in 0.3.6]       |
