Incorrect parameter formatting in documentation

[kohr-h]

For a while now, the parameters of functions are not displayed correctly in the documentation. See for instance here. It seems as if the colon between name and type of the parameter gets swallowed and the two get smashed together.

I saw the same issue in the doc window of the Spyder IDE, so I suspect that it has to do with a Sphinx update. Maybe numpydoc needs to be patched.

This is a known issue in the Sphinx RTD theme: readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#746

A somewhat brutal fix that we could import: geopandas/geopandas#1299

[kohr-h]

Indeed fixed by #1549, so closing this for now. We should observe the sphinx-rtd-theme issue.

The sphinx_rtd_theme issue has been closed as solved. We can remove our workaround as soon as a release is availble. I'll open a new issue.
