+Note that the line number is wrong here, it looks rst-lint is unable
+to understand that paragraphs have multiple lines, so every issue of a
+paragraph gets assigned to the first line. Running ``rst-lint``
+directly against this content has the same issue.
 
 One potential way to avoid this using ``|000...00>``
 instead (wrapping in backticks as a inline literal).
