sphinxcontrib.external-links

Sphinx extension for easily adding reusable external links.

Features

• default list of commonly used external links
• user configurable links
• check documentation for hardcoded links that can be replaced
• compatible with the Sphinx's linkcheck builder to check link integrity

Usage

external_links = {
    "Google": "https://google.com",  # matches ":link:`google`", ":link:`Google`", etc

Provide a link to :link:`Google` to :link:`google.com <google>`.
