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.
