Sphinx introduced an upper bound on the Docutils version as a precaution.
If you want to experiment, you may install a repository snapshot
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/#snapshots

It should work with a not too old Sphinx but may need customization of the
CSS style sheets due to recent changes in HTML5 writer.

** [bugs:#444] Table column width rounding can result in uneven column widths**

**Status:** open-fixed
**Created:** Thu Feb 10, 2022 06:13 AM UTC by Alex Forencich

In the HTML generated for a table with 8 equal-width columns, the column widths in the generated colgroups are all rounded up from 12.5% to 13%, resulting in the last column being much too narrow (0.5 * 7 = 3.5, 3.5/12.5 = 0.28, so the accumulated error is almost 30%).  The fix would be to revise the rounding in `depart_colspec` in `_html_base.py` to produce at least one decimal place, instead of rounding to the nearest integer.
