Any ideas on how I can refer to an online image while documenting with Sphinx?
This does NOT work:
.. image:: http://www.mysite.com/images/someimage.png
Gives me:
/home/user/proj/2010/11/08/the_forever_war.rst:11: WARNING: nonlocal image URI found: http://www.mysite.com/images/someimage.png
Thanks…
That’s quite embarassing…
As delnan mentioned above in his comment, I’m only getting a Warning.
In my defense, I was trying some quite complicated raw directives before I settled on the image directive, and I was just looking at the output of Sphinx rather on the rendered pages. When I saw the long output from Sphinx I assumed I hit another error again.
Nonetheless, I’m to blame… The image loads fine.
