Pandas version checks

• I have checked that the issue still exists on the latest versions of the docs on main here

Documentation problem

Several functions in pandas/io/html.py have docstrings that violate PEP 257 and pandas documentation guidelines. Flagged violations include:

• D400: Docstring summary should end with a period
• D205: Docstring summary should be followed by a blank line
• D401: First line of docstring should be in imperative mood

These inconsistencies reduce clarity and hinder automated validation.

Suggested fix for documentation

Standardize docstring formatting based on flake8-docstrings and pydocstyle feedback to meet pandas’ documentation standards. This includes:

• Adding missing punctuation and spacing
• Rewriting summaries for clarity and imperative voice
• Ensuring consistent style across the module

This fix is scoped to documentation and does not impact functionality.
