<p dir="auto">At <a href="http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/classes.html#module-sklearn.utils" rel="nofollow">http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/classes.html#module-sklearn.utils</a> (and in the deprecated section too), the signature of functions that take <code class="notranslate">*args, **kwargs</code> (e.g. <code class="notranslate">utils.resample</code>) appear with spurious backslashes, e.g.</p>
<div class="snippet-clipboard-content notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="utils.resample(\*arrays, \*\*options)	Resample arrays or sparse matrices in a consistent way"><pre class="notranslate"><code class="notranslate">utils.resample(\*arrays, \*\*options)	Resample arrays or sparse matrices in a consistent way
</code></pre></div>
<h4 dir="auto">Description</h4>
<p dir="auto">Not sure why this is happening, but if you look at <a href="http://scikit-learn.org/dev/modules/generated/sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline.html" rel="nofollow"><code class="notranslate">the pipeline docs</code></a> or any other module that uses <code class="notranslate">*</code> in their methods, the asterisks show up as <code class="notranslate">\*</code>. Perhaps something to have to do with escaping characters?<br>

<h4 dir="auto">Expected Results</h4>
<p dir="auto">There are no <code class="notranslate">\</code> before the asterisks.</p>
