Hi! This quirk causes problems for me as well. I use Sphinx for generating course materials, where I occasionally update a chapter, rebuild and upload corresponding html file to the course site. Usually I forget to also upload those new copies of picture files and so I get broken image references in the html.
Why does Sphinx work like that? Is there an option for turning off this behaviour? But in general, I'm extremely happy that I discovered Sphinx! Many thanks for the authors! best regards, Aivar On Jul 28, 12:23 pm, Aaron Ross <aaronelliotr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > We're using sphinx to generate HTML documentation for a Python project.
