generated command references sometimes render a solid blob of text

  i'm sure everyone else already knows this, but some of the HTML
files generated for the command reference list sometimes render the
synopsis or description as a single, unbroken blob of text. for
example, the reference page for "addpart" has a single line for the
entire Description field. another example: the Synopsis field for the
"let" command. and so on.

  it's easy to see that the .rst files that are created don't properly
handle paragraph breaks or lists. so is that just a known issue?

  oh, and one more oddity. if you look at the generated page for the
"let" command, it appears that the the double hyphen is replaced by a
longer "em" hyphen. here's part of the generated let.rst file:

Synopsis
^^^^^^^^
Supported operations are in order of decreasing precedence:
X++, X--
++X, --X
+X, -X
!X, ~X
...

but look what shows up in the generated HTML file:

  X++, X– ++X, –X +X, -X

notice how occurrences of "--" in the .rst file are replaced by the
longer hyphen in the HTML file. just an observation.
