+Exit codes are handled by Scriptform if the output type is not `raw`. Otherwise
+it is the script's responsibility to properly handle exit codes of subscripts
+and showing errors.

+If the output type is `escaped` or `html` and the script's exit code is 0, the

 If a script's exit code is not 0, it is assumed an error occured. Scriptform
 will show the script's stderr output (in red) to the user instead of stdin.
