Looks great - thanks for the PR, @Bubble-Interface!
(the CI failure looks unrelated to me)

| .. note:: | ||
|
|
||
| When a capture fixture such as :fixture:`capsys` or :fixture:`capfd` is used, | ||
| it takes precedence over the global capturing configuration set via | ||
| command-line options such as ``-s`` or ``--capture=no``. | ||
|
|
||
| This means that output produced within a test using a capture fixture will | ||
| still be captured and available via ``readouterr()``, even if global capturing | ||
| is disabled. |

Let's move this note to the bottom of the page. This is a more advanced notice, and as it is now, it gets in the way of the explanation of the basics of the feature.
