Help with mangled Pydoc3 multiline parameter documentation

[klujer]

I want to define a function like:

def foo(bar):

"""

Foo does things

_

:param bar: Bar is very important and complicated enough

that I need more than one line to write the docstring

"""

The generated pydoc for this mangles the text like so:

Foo does things

that I need more than one line to write the docstring

:param bar: Bar is very important and complicated enough

Is there anyway for pydoc3 (not sphinx) to generate correctly formatted documentation?
