Getting "ERROR: Unknown target name:" for valid section headings #800

Closed shimizukawa closed 9 years ago

shimizukawa commented 9 years ago

The unknown target name error is generated for implicit ReST targets, even though they build correctly, and the output links correctly as well.

Example:

#!rest
Some text that refers to `$this->foo->bar()`_ generates the following error
when building: *ERROR: Unknown target name: "$this->foo->bar()"*

$this->foo->bar()

Reproduced with plain docutils: this is not a Sphinx issue.
