WARNING: Bullet list ends without a blank line

Issue #1700 resolved
Former user created an issue

I get three "Bullet list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent." warnings when I 'make html' in sqlalchemy/doc/build.

(mydevenv)diana@diana-laptop:~/workspace/sqlalchemy/doc/build$ make html
mkdir -p output/html output/doctrees
sphinx-build -b html -A mako_layout=html -d output/doctrees   . output/html

The sphinx docs say:

"Nested lists are possible, but be aware that they must be separated from the parent list items by blank lines:"

* this is
* a list

  * with a nested list
  * and some subitems

* and here the parent list continues

Attached is a diff.

Some 'id' attribute values change as a result of this diff -- I'm totally new to sphinx & not sure if this matters. For example:

(mydevenv)diana@diana-laptop:~/workspace/sqlalchemy/doc/build$ diff /home/diana/dbengine.html.before /home/diana/dbengine.html.after

Also, are there tests I should run for the docs? I did run 'python setup.pt test':

Ran 2141 tests in 230.564s

OK

Note that this is my first ever ticket and diff to an open source project, so please let me know if I'm doing something wrong.

    there are some doctests that aren't part of the suite if you run the "testdocs.py" script. they're not super-critical.
