Description

When I was building the sphinx documentation locally with make html I noticed quite a few warnings were being issued, which usually means the documentation will be there, but the formatting will be wrong. You can make these fatal errors for Sphinx if you want to set the standard that formatting errors aren't allowed with:

sphinx-build <source> <output> -W --keep-going -E

This is what we do in MontePy's CI.

Research direction

Start by running the documentation build with make html and review the warnings it emits. Compare the suggested sphinx-build flags with the documentation workflow configuration; done means the documentation build treats warnings as fatal and the relevant check passes without warnings.
