[docs] [issue36567] DOC: manpage directive doesn't create hyperlink

[Cheryl Sabella]

New submission from Cheryl Sabella <cheryl.sabella at gmail.com>:

The `manpage` directive in the docs is not creating a hyperlink to the Unix manual page.  As of Sphinx 1.7, the `manpage` directive needs to have a `manpages_url` defined in the conf.py file.
