The other common error is misuse of the :: (double colon) which you should only put immediately before a block of doctests (starting with sage: prompts). So if your EAMPLES block goes right into an example, use EXAMPLES:: but if the first example has some other explanatory text first, keep a single : on EXAMPLES: and put a double :: after that text.
