.../Doc/library/exceptions.rst, lines 99-105 has

      original ``SomeException`` had we allowed it to propagate to the caller.

         try:
             ...
         except SomeException:
             tb = sys.exc_info()[2]
             raise OtherException(...).with_traceback(tb)

The code example with no markup except indents does not work because without a new indent, the last line is merged with the preceding one as part of the same paragraph.

https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/exceptions.html#BaseException.with_traceback

        traceback of the original SomeException had we allowed it to propagate to the caller.

            try:

                …
            except SomeException:

                tb = sys.exc_info()[2] raise OtherException(…).with_traceback(tb)

Note also the uneven line spacing, which is different for me here with Firefox that in the web page (also with Firefox).  Something different is needed, but I do not know what.

If we make it a code snippet it works. Just adding a `::` after the paragraph.

Here's a print on Firefox locally: https://imgur.com/a/g2vsqf2

I created a PR for that if you think it's a good solution, feel free to merge :)
