This adds a new config value called ``extlinks`` that is created like this::
- extlinks = {'exmpl': ('https://example.invalid/%s.html', prefix), ...}
+ extlinks = {'exmpl': ('https://example.invalid/%s.html', caption), ...}
Now you can use e.g. :exmpl:`foo` in your documents. This will create a
link to ``https://example.invalid/foo.html``. The link caption depends on
- the *prefix* value given:
+ the *caption* value given:
- If it is ``None``, the caption will be the full URL.
- - If it is a string (empty or not), the caption will be the prefix prepended
- to the role content.
+ - If it is a string, it must contain ``%s`` exactly once. In this case the
+ caption will be *caption* with the role content substituted for ``%s``.
You can also give an explicit caption, e.g. :exmpl:`Foo <foo>`.
