to be fair, the trend as I have observed it, comes with Markdown style, 
especially github-flavoured-markdown.

something like

```c
int main() {
}
```

will give syntax highlighting on platforms like Heptapod (based on the Free 
Software gitlab core) and others. In that case it helps to mark what kind of 
output is described. While Python allows for full line strings, it does not 
have the syntax marking.

Overall I think it is okay, though the reStructured text style that you have 
mentioned, which is more like the original Python documentation, is better to 
read in a simple email.
