OK, now I need to link to external docs (PDF, in this case), but I can't
figure out from the link you show above where is the root of the relative
path specified. For example, if I use ":doc:test1.pdf", does it expect to
find the file in source/test1.pdf, source/_static/test1.pdf,
source/../test1.pdf, or somewhere else? Every time sphinx-autobuild renders
the doc it complains it can't find the file, but it gives me no concept of
where it is trying to find it.

Even if I put the file in /tmp and use :doc:`/tmp/test1.pdf` it can't find
it.

None:None: WARNING: unknown document: test1.pdf

What am I doing wrong?

/path/to/source/results.rst:163: WARNING: unknown document: /tmp/test1.pdf

$ grep test1.pdf /path/to/source/results.rst
integration  expected_value  automated_test          :ref:`diutUserStory6`
 :doc:`/tmp/test1.pdf`

$ file /tmp/test1.pdf
/tmp/test1.pdf: PDF document, version 1.4

Or is the error message just not explicit enough and it is some other
problem (like can't link to a PDF?)

If the latter, what should I do to include external files by links into a
table in a ReST document that is generated programmatically?

Thanks!

Dave
