Generating an external link in Sphinx

September 6, 2023 by Tarik

See the reStructuredText documentation. It can be done either with a named reference:

Test hyperlink: SO_.
    
.. _SO: https://stackoverflow.com/

Or with:

Test hyperlink: `Stack Overflow home <SO>`_.
    
.. _SO: https://stackoverflow.com/

Or with an embedded URI:

Test hyperlink: `Stack Overflow home <https://stackoverflow.com/>`_.
