    """Widget used as a context manager to display output.

    This widget can capture and display stdout, stderr, and rich output.  To use
    it, create an instance of it and display it.

    You can then use the widget as a context manager: any output produced while in the
    context will be captured and displayed in the widget instead of the standard output
    area.

    You can also use the .capture() method to decorate a function or a method. Any output
    produced by the function will then go to the output widget. This is useful for
    debugging widget callbacks, for example.

    Example::
        import ipywidgets as widgets
        from IPython.display import display
        out = widgets.Output()
        display(out)

        print('prints to output area')
