This isn't possible, and I would argue that if it worked it would also be misleading: :ref: is supposed to make internal references, not external hyperlinks. What you can do is to put your hyperlink references in a common include file, and to include that (using ``.. include::``) in all files where you need it (if you use it from everywhere, you can also use the rst_epilog config value.) cheers, Georg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk6Owp0ACgkQN9GcIYhpnLBzzQCgpbWKR6fJQrXTYxXBqW1ApqfA MdIAoKJyWxzKTVEYxn5lArc1khQgo127 =+xsh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-dev" group.
