Description
This is probably not a bug, but I'm just wondering whether there is a decision not to make docstring for metrics RST-friendly.
Let's take the documentation for https://github.com/prometheus/client_python/blob/db391dbc83df4202698a21463ae89d6fb3611ce2/prometheus_client/metrics.py#L516 as an example.
The code block will not be rendered as a code block but as a quotes block when using Sphinx.

Research direction
Start with the metrics docstring in prometheus_client/metrics.py around line 516 and render its documentation with Sphinx to reproduce the formatting issue. Done means the relevant metrics docstrings render their code examples as RST code blocks rather than quote blocks.
