python - Substitutions inside Sphinx code blocks aren't replaced

Question

In this reST example meant to be rendered by Sphinx, |yaco_url| doesn't get replaced because it's in a code-block:

.. |yaco_url| replace:: http://yaco.es/

You can use wget to download it:

.. code-block:: console

    $ wget |yaco_url|package.tar.gz

I wonder if there is some way to force the replacement of |yaco_url| before rendering the code block.

Answer 1

Use the "parsed-literal" directive.

.. parsed-literal::

    ./home/user/somecommand-|version|
