Add flag for syntax checking of doctests as in flake8 --doctests

[marcinbarczynski]

Currently, there is no way to force ruff to check the syntax of doctests.

[charliermarsh]

Agreed.

[charliermarsh]

Should we be checking these by default?

[marcinbarczynski]

IMO yes.

For flake8 --doctests: https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/user/options.html#cmdoption-flake8-doctests

I believe doctests = False is the default in flake8.

+1 to this request, I also think it should be the default for both flake8 and ruff

Hello, we are also interested in this feature, especially when the code in docstring can be formatted with ruff already. Is there any plan to implement this feature soon?

Is there any plan to implement this feature soon?

We're interested in adding support to lint and format embedded Python code in general. It's just we're a small team and currently we have our hands full with other tasks, but we'll notify once we start work on this.
