======================== 5 passed in 0.04 seconds ========================

Collects 5 tests: 3 in example/test_example.py (the unit tests), 1 in example/example.py (the module doctest), 1 in docs/index.md the markdown doctest.

In Visual Studio Code, run Discover Tests, then run tests. This finds and runs 4 tests (the markdown doctest is not found) in the bottom bar.

Going to the Test Explorer, only the 3 unit tests are listed.

Ideally, all would be found, and would appear in the Test Explorer.
