Doc test bug: recognize /// - a as doctest

[gwy15]

I tried this code:

/// comment
///
/// -               panic!()
pub fn f() {}

I expected to see this happen when running cargo test: nothing

Instead, this happened: thread 'main' panicked at 'explicit panic', src/lib.rs:3:1

Thanks for the report! I understand this is a bit confusing, but it is mostly working as intended. The commonmark spec specifies that indented text is a code block. Rustdoc by default treats all code blocks as "rust" code unless otherwise specified.

I'm going to close since this has been reported before. Closing as a duplicate of #64162, #59867, #88590, #100225.
