When you set the subs options explicitly, it no longer executes the
standard set of substitutions. Thus, <module> is not being escaped as it
normally would since the only subs you have enabled are quotes. That can be
solved by adding the specialcharacters substitutions in the subs option.
[subs="specialcharacters,quotes"]
In your case, you want some quotes, but not all of them. You can get more
fine-grained quoting using the inline pass macro. First, enable macros:
[subs="specialcharacters,macros"]
Then wrap the text you want quoted in pass:quotes[].
Here's the result:
[subs="specialcharacters,macros"]
----
$ pass:quotes[*python functional_tests.py*]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "functional_tests.py", line 4, in <module>
assert 'Django' in browser.title
AssertionError
----
That should give you the output you want.
Another approach to the problem is to separate the text that the user
enters from the output. Then, you can style the text using css (via a role)
[role="user-input"]
----
$ python functional_tests.py
----
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "functional_tests.py", line 4, in <module>
assert 'Django' in browser.title
AssertionError
...
I always prefer to use the literal block for console output.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
