@CAM-Gerlach Thanks again, that was super helpful, and I learned more about Sphinx along the way. I committed your second suggestion and will also submit a PR to add the license URL to the dictionary html_theme_options inside the devguide's conf.py.

You're welcome, I'm glad! I'm no expert at Sphinx theming either; I know just enough to be dangerous 😆 Looks like its up to @Mariatta for the final review?

Could you explain how to use it? because with my workflow, it doesn't work.

git clone https://github.com/python/devguide
cd devguide
make venv
./venv/bin/pip install -U pip
./venv/bin/pip uninstall python-docs-theme
./venv/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/jablonskidev/python-docs-theme.git@patch-1

As you can see, I have got WARNING: unsupported theme option 'copyright_url' given

Any idea?

Thank you

Thanks @matrixise . This PR neglected to add

copyright_url =

in theme.conf as mentioned in my review comment above, and it seems I didn't notice the omission earlier, sorry. That's why you're seeing the warning. However, it may still have worked, I'm not certain—I presume you actually checked the build output and the link was not correct?

That's why you're seeing the warning. However, it may still have worked, I'm not certain—I presume you actually checked the build output and the link was not correct?

In fact, without this parameter, the build of the devguide or another project using this PR would generate a Warning with the undefined copyright_url option

In this case, the copyright_url must be defined into the theme.conf file.

@jablonskidev Could you update your PR with the copyright_url option?

Thank you

@matrixise @CAM-Gerlach Thanks for your feedback! I added copyright_url = to theme.conf. If there's anything else I can do to improve this and help move it forward, then please let me know.

Thanks @jablonskidev I am going to check in few minutes.

@Mariatta What do you think about this PR, for me, it's fine, and we can merge it.

@JulienPalard Just to be sure. For you, is there an issue with this PR and the "copyright" link in the existing documentations? Thanks
