Fix sphinx-doc#3447 Fix sphinx-doc#8228 With this patch the legacy notion of "problematic cell" is almost entirely removed, and LaTeX package tabulary will be used more often so that column widths in tables may get better fit to actual contents. This works well when the column contains cells with multiple paragraphs, bullet lists, enumerated lists, or line blocks. For cells with object descriptions or admonitions, the column may not fit tightly to the contents, but other columns will probably be improved.

This PR does not fix #8228, and it seems really unrelated. Could someone reopen my issue as it's not fixed yet? |
