Footnote backlinks do not work #1058

Closed shimizukawa closed 9 years ago

shimizukawa commented 9 years ago

Footnotes are not backlinked to their places of use as can be seen at http://docs.python.org/library/sys (search for [C99], the footnote is at the very bottom.)

I have not yet investigated in how far other builders are affected or which part of the code is defective. Current trunk seems to exhibit that defect as well.

Technically speaking, it's a citation, not a footnote. (ref. http://sphinx-doc.org/rest.html#citations)

fixed on https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/pull-request/97

However, i18n part is still broken. I'll fix it later.

This seems to be broken again

tk0miya commented 4 years ago

In my eyes, it seems working fine. The [C99] hyperlink is available to me.

http://docs.python.org/library/sys (search for [C99], the footnote is at the very bottom.)

Please let me know what is happened (as a new issue).

eric-wieser commented 4 years ago

Apologies, I was mislead by a screenshot from another issue (in sphinx_rtd_theme), which suggested I should see number to the right of [C99], rather than C99 itself being the link.

tk0miya commented 4 years ago

The backref numbers will be shown if there are two or more citation references for the same citation definition.

eric-wieser commented 4 years ago

Indeed, that's what I worked out eventually. Sorry for the waste of time!
