Description

A new version of sphinx was released today and it fails to build our docs:

/home/vagrant/devel/pulp/pulpcore/pulpcore/app/serializers/base.py:docstring of pulpcore.app.serializers.base.ModelSerializer.create:5:Inline strong start-string without end-string.

This previously worked with Sphinx 1.6.7.

Here are the lines causing the problems:

https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/blob/master/rest_framework/serializers.py#L888
https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/blob/master/rest_framework/serializers.py#L895

Escaping the asterisks in my local copy of this file with backslashes fixed the problem for me.

One thing I found that fixes the problem is to add docstring to ModelSerializer.create[0]. It looks like this prevents sphinx from looking up and parsing the docstring from DRF's ModelSerializer.create method (which has the offending problem). I don't think this is a good long-term solution though.
