Thanks, that is a good idea for longer code Alan!

My case is different. For example in one document I have about 50 code 
blocks, which are about 2 to 8 lines long. Creating 50 files for this 
purpose would be very inconvenient.

When I copy code from the rendered version then it's no problem, but 
copying from the rst source is very error-prone due to the indentation, 
e.g.,:

code:: sh

   cat > file <<EOF
     4spaces here instead of 2
   and EOF does not work
   EOF
