Provide iex snippets that can be copied and pasted into iex

I’m writing some library documentation and I would like for the reader to be able copy from a code snippet and paste into his iex repl.

For example I might have:

iex [10:46 :: 10] > PE.execute(pid)
:ok
10:47:11.502 [info] New task instance [service_task][f742109b-8fea-465c-b2f0-63fa07d56f92]
10:47:11.502 [info] Complete service task [service_task[f742109b-8fea-465c-b2f0-63fa07d56f92]
10:47:11.503 [info] Process complete [process_with_single_service_task][b5fa354c-9e38-426b-883c-4cacc45e502e]

I wold like for the reader to be able to copy just the function call (PE.execute(pid)) and paste that into his repl and get the same results as shown.

I only ask this because it seems like I’ve seen this work before somewhere. Is it possible?

Thanks for responding but I am sorry for wasting your time. I think I was going down the wrong path with that post. It didn’t make a lot of sense.
