No support for classic Sphinx Style docstring format?

[johann-petrak]

I have a project that uses "classic" style docstrings, that style/format gets sometimes called "Sphinx style" and sometimes "reST" style:

"""
Some text to describe what the function does. 
This can span several lines.

:param param1: description of first parameter.
   can also span several lines if indented.
:param param2: another one
:returns: description of what is returned
"""

This will not detect the :param sections and format them properly in the generated HTML.

Am I doing this wrong or is this not supported?
In general, is it possible to somehow configure the expected docstring format or is everything supposed to get
auto-detected (so different files or even different parts in a file could have different formats)?

I am using pdoc version 0.9.1 with Python 3.7

There was some preliminary work in #198, but nothing acceptable so far. Contributions welcome!
