Type 'bool' with x-ref is not correctly rendered

[mscheltienne]

Hello,

I've been playing with your theme for a while on a sandbox repository: https://github.com/mscheltienne/simple-stimuli
I've noticed this weird render today:

Any idea why bool got rendered differently?

Thanks,
Mathieu

Any idea why bool got rendered differently?

That's likely something to do with how Sphinx resolved to bool reference. What exactly? No idea.

Using python -m sphinx.ext.intersphinx https://docs.python.org/3/objects.inv, I can see that this resolved within std:label:

        bltin-boolean-values                     Boolean Values                          : library/stdtypes.html#bltin-boolean-values

Why? No idea. There's a bool that links to the right page as well, with the right type of reference:

        bool                                     library/functions.html#bool

Why did it not link to that? no idea. Your best bet is to reach out to the authors of Sphinx (or the Sphinx extension you're using using to generate the API documentation) to look into what's happening here.

At the end of the day, that's more of a thing to do with how Sphinx reference resolution worked in this case, rather than how the theme has rendered the markup that Sphinx generated for it.

Alright, thank you for looking into it. I thought it was a render issue, clearly not!
