title: How to document an exception using Sphinx?
body: <p>I can't seem to figure out how to document exceptions using Sphinx.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def some_funct():
      """
      :raises: ExceptionType: Some multi-line
          exception description.
      """
  
  
  def some_funct():
      """
      :raises: ExceptionType, Some multi-line
          exception description.
      """
  
  
  def some_funct():
      """
      :raises ExceptionType: Some multi-line
          exception description.
      """
  
  
  def some_funct():
      """
      :raises:
          ExceptionType: Some multi-line
              exception description.
      """
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Sphinx keeps saying:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"Field list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent." </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So how do I get rid of the message and what is the proper way to document possibly multiple exceptions with multiple-line documentation?</p>
