New submission from Jürgen Gmach <juergen.gmach@googlemail.com>: I wanted to copy a hyperlink to the documentation section for ConfigParser's optionxform method, but in https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html you cannot link to this one section, as the paragraph was marked with `:noindex:` via https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/21859 / bpo-40204 The `:noindex:` workaround was introduced to silence doc build errors which came with a new Sphinx version. Without the workaround, you get errors like... P.S.: I uploaded a screenshot of the documentation section showing the heading before optionxform has a permalink, optionsxform does not. Warning, treated as error: /home/jugmac00/Projects/cpython/Doc/library/configparser.rst:1170:duplicate object description of configparser.ConfigParser.optionxform, other instance in library/configparser, use :noindex: for one of them Makefile:49: recipe for target 'build' failed make: *** [build] Error 2 Looks like a possible fix to this problem would involve a major restructuring of the configparser documentation, to avoid the "duplicated object description". Maybe there is a simpler solution? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: Screenshot from 2021-05-05 08-46-05.png messages: 392977 nosy: docs@python, jugmac00 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: ConfigParser: cannot link to ConfigParser.optionxform(option) Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file50014/Screenshot from 2021-05-05 08-46-05.png _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44044> _______________________________________
