For example, this test passes::
- >>> print(range(20)) #doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
+ >>> print(list(range(20))) #doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE

is on a single line. This test also passes, and also requires a directive to do
so::
- >>> print(range(20)) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS

[0, 1, ..., 18, 19]
Multiple directives can be used on a single physical line, separated by commas::
- >>> print(range(20)) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS, +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
+ >>> print(list(range(20))) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS, +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
[0, 1, ..., 18, 19]
If multiple directive comments are used for a single example, then they are
combined::
- >>> print(range(20)) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS

+ >>> print(list(range(20))) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+ ... # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
[0, 1, ..., 18, 19]
As the previous example shows, you can add ``...`` lines to your example
containing only directives. This can be useful when an example is too long for
a directive to comfortably fit on the same line::
- >>> print(range(5) + range(10,20) + range(30,40) + range(50,60))
+ >>> print(list(range(5)) + list(range(10, 20)) + list(range(30, 40)))

+ [0, ..., 4, 10, ..., 19, 30, ..., 39]
Note that since all options are disabled by default, and directives apply only
to the example they appear in, enabling options (via ``+`` in a directive) is
