Remove trace of sandbox module in output for at-repl and at-example.

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -4,6 +4,8 @@
 
 * ![Feature][badge-feature] `@example`- and `@repl`-blocks now support colored output by mapping ANSI escape sequences to HTML. This requires Julia >= 1.6 and passing `ansicolor=true` to `Documenter.HTML` (e.g. `makedocs(format=Documenter.HTML(ansicolor=true, ...), ...)`). In Documenter 0.28.0 this will be the default so to (preemptively) opt-out pass `ansicolor=false`. ([#1441][github-1441], [#1628][github-1628])
 
+* ![Enhancement][badge-enhancement] The sandbox module used for evaluating `@repl` and `@example` blocks is now removed (replaced with `Main`) in text output. ([#1633][github-1633])
+
 * ![Bugfix][badge-bugfix] Dollar signs in the HTML output no longer get accidentally misinterpreted as math delimiters in the browser. ([#890](github-890), [#1625](github-1625))
