I tried
http://docs.scipy.org/scipy/docs/scipy.signal.signaltools.convolve/diff/4791/5687/

last night, but no version looks really nice. I didn't manage the
definition list.

The mode parameter description is an example for  the most common case
when we need to do lists in the Parameters descriptions.

But I don't think we have consistent use of markup for this case until now

One alternative is here:
http://docs.scipy.org/scipy/docs/scipy.interpolate.rbf.Rbf/

A good example that can be used as pattern and is acceptable would be useful.
