+  call. This was caused by PR#181.
 * #1337: Fix autodoc with ``autoclass_content="both"`` uses useless
   ``object.__init__`` docstring when class does not have ``__init__``.

   resulted in "literal" being found on every page with a literal in the
   title).
-
 * #751: Allow production lists longer than a page in LaTeX by using longtable.
-
 * #764: Always look for stopwords lowercased in JS search.
