Here is some code:</p><pre><codeclass="language-julia">x = 1//3
y = 2//5</code></pre><pre><codeclass="language-none">2//5</code></pre><p>In markdown sections we can use markdown syntax.

Starting a line with <code>#-</code> manually inserts a chunk break. For example, if we want to display the output of the following operations we may insert <code>#-</code> in between. These two code blocks will now end up in different <code>@example</code>-blocks in the markdown output, and two different notebook cells in the notebook output.</p><pre><codeclass="language-julia">x + y</code></pre><pre><codeclass="language-none">11//15</code></pre><pre><codeclass="language-julia">x * y</code></pre><pre><codeclass="language-none">2//15</code></pre><h3><aclass="nav-anchor"id="Output-Capturing-1"href="#Output-Capturing-1">Output Capturing</a></h3><p>Code chunks are by default placed in Documenter <code>@example</code> blocks in the generated markdown. This means that the output will be captured in a block when Documenter is building the docs. In notebooks the output is captured in output cells, if the <code>execute</code> keyword argument is set to true. Output to <code>stdout</code>/<code>stderr</code> is also captured.</p><pre><codeclass="language-julia">function foo()
