Unknown directive type "exercise".

The .. exercise:: directive does not work for me.

Steps to reproduce: 1) sphinx-quickstart 2) pip install -r requirements.txt requirements.txt 3) change conf.py

project = 'test-sphinx-lesson'
copyright = '2021, Kevin Sawade'
author = 'Kevin Sawade'

# Add any Sphinx extension module names here, as strings. They can be
# extensions coming with Sphinx (named 'sphinx.ext.*') or your custom
# ones.

        'sphinx.ext.autodoc',

# -- Options for HTML output -------------------------------------------------

# The theme to use for HTML and HTML Help pages.  See the documentation for

html_theme = 'sphinx_rtd_theme'

# Add any paths that contain custom static files (such as style sheets) here,
# relative to this directory. They are copied after the builtin static files,
# so a file named "default.css" will overwrite the builtin "default.css".
html_static_path = ['_static']

4) run make html

I wonder if this is too new and we need a new release to make the documentation match the PyPI version (being still testing I haven't been too on top of making new releases). I just released 0.8.4 - does it work now with that?

I tried to look at git history to see when we did our big renaming, I am not sure if it is after 0.8.3 but I think it might be.

[kevinsawade]

Yeah. It's working now with 0.8.4. Thank you!
