A sample code for `ast.While` should be colored correctly like the other examples.

Documentation

A sample code for ast.While currently looks like this:

Currently, all of the sample code is displayed in gray, and there is no syntax highlighting for print functions or a string literal.

The sample code should be colored correctly like the other examples, like a sample code for ast.For:

Amendment proposal

I don't know a syntax for reStructuredText, but I find it odd that > characters are only two as an prompt, not three:

cpython/Doc/library/ast.rst

Line 1188 in f9578dc

>> print(ast.dump(ast.parse("""

I think if we make the prompt > three characters like the other sample codes it will be colored correctly:

-         >> print(ast.dump(ast.parse("""
+         >>> print(ast.dump(ast.parse("""

You can open a pr with your patch, it is indeed an error.

I should have checked earlier, this was not the only occurrence of this

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/f5512a2498d0d99197f4f12b37d004fdf6deec85/Doc/library/shutil.rst?plain=1#L476C1-L477C33

It is colored correctly in this case and so has little impact, it can probably just be left till it is picked up as part of another pr. What do you think @terryjreedy ?
