Docstring of automodule does not start a new paragraph in LaTeX, but in HTML

[shimizukawa]

In the following example, the behaviour will differ between LaTeX and HTML output:

This is a simple test paragraph.

.. automodule:: foo
    :members: bar

The docstring of the module will end up in the same paragraph as the previous line in LaTeX, but not in HTML. The latter behaviour seems to be more sensible.

A workaround is to place

.. raw:: latex

    \\

before the automodule directive, but that has some issues in terms of formatting, spacing, etc. -- aside from being ugly.
