Right.

In Sphinx changelog, "Features added" for 2.0.0b1 [1] lists this:

    #1851: Allow to omit an argument for code-block directive. If omitted,
    it follows highlight or highlight_language

[1]: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes.html#id1306

Pre-2.0 Sphinx is now deprecated.
See commit 31abfdda6527 ("docs: Deprecate use of Sphinx < 2.4.x").

        Thanks, Akira
