rst apparently requires that the closing double backticks for code literals appear at the end of a "word", rather than preceded by a space as markdown allows. This means that julia> doesn't parse correctly. The fix is to just remove the trailing space and explicitly mention the need for a space after the >.

The NEWS.md entry is also broken. Maybe the same trick works there?
