# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- """ sphinx.ext.extlinks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Extension to save typing and prevent hard-coding of base URLs in the reST files. This adds a new config value called ``extlinks`` that is created like this:: extlinks = {'exmpl': ('http://example.com/%s.html', prefix), ...} Now you can use e.g. :exmpl:`foo` in your documents. This will create a link to ``http://example.com/foo.html``. The link caption depends on the *prefix* value given: - If it is ``None``, the caption will be the full URL. - If it is a string (empty or not), the caption will be the prefix prepended to the role content. You can also give an explicit caption, e.g. :exmpl:`Foo `. :copyright: Copyright 2007-2011 by the Sphinx team, see AUTHORS. :license: BSD, see LICENSE for details.
