+"""Fenced code blocks are parsed as directives,
+if the block starts with ``{directive_name}``,
+followed by arguments on the same line.
+
+Directive options are read from a YAML block,
+if the first content line starts with ``---``, e.g.
+
+::
+
+    ```{directive_name} arguments
+    ---
+    option1: name
+    option2: |
+        Longer text block
+    ---
+    content...
+    ```
+
+Or the option block will be parsed if the first content line starts with ``:``,
+as a YAML block consisting of every line that starts with a ``:``, e.g.
+
+::
+
+    ```{directive_name} arguments
+    :option1: name
+    :option2: other
+
+    content...
+    ```
+
+If the first line of a directive's content is blank, this will be stripped
+from the content.
+This is to allow for separation between the option block and content.
