Not sure if this is what you mean but since conf.py is just a Python file, you can do string substitutions in it. For example, for I happen to do: rst_prolog=""" .. |versionG| replace:: :guilabel:`%s` """ % (version,) because I sometimes need to include the version number in :guilabel: styled text and :guilabel:`blah-|version|` won't work. So now I can do: Right-click :guilabel:`blah-`\ |versionG| to do foo. As far as links go, you might try this technique in combination with the sphinx.ext.extlinks – Markup to shorten external links extension. See http://sphinx.pocoo.org/ext/extlinks.html for details. (Pretty sure this works for any links not just "external" ones). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-dev" group.
