[issue28710] Sphinx incompatible markup in the standard library docstrings

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

I agree with David.  I would like the ugly markup changed independent of how Sphinx treats it.  I was thinking of changing the title to "Change obsolete tex markup in stdlib docstrings".  The intent of `word' was for people to see balanced quotes, which in ascii text means 'word'.
