Make variables in code blocks italic

[kai687]

I want to be able to make italicized output of variables in code block. The parsed literal directive should allow that, but I'm not sure yet how to integrate that into a code-block directive.

If I'm deriving a new directive for this, I want to enable +/- 'diff' highlighting as options. Basically a separate :emphasize-lines: option is all that is needed. This would allow some concise notation for changes users have to make to existing code.

A new directive could also take care/include the copy button in the markup. No additional client side DOM manipulation would be necessary (only the selection/copying).

I don't see this happening. It's a fundamental conflict between the pygments syntax highlighting and parsed literal text. I could have imagined doing something like the EmpasizedLiteral() role but as directive, but then I would have to go line by line and search for the parentheses. I don't want to think about it right now.

I implemented this as a new directive that is available with the theme.

The directive is implemented in a separate project sphinxawesome-sampdirective. This will get added as a dependency to this theme. The theme provides the style.
