* When editing reStructuredText (``.rst``) files, try to keep line length under
80 characters when possible (exceptions include links and tables).

* In scikit-learn reStructuredText files both single and double backticks

backticks should be used nowadays.

introduced new sphinx warnings and try to fix them.
