This is a sign of having a bad version of "rst2html5" installed.

We expect to be using  rst2html5 that comes with python docutils
package.

There is a completely different rst2html5 that people might get
from "pip" if you did "pip install rst2html5". This version is
broken and unusable and so needs to be removed.
