"""Extension to save typing and prevent hard-coding of base URLs in reST files.
This adds a new config value called ``extlinks`` that is created like this::
extlinks = {'exmpl': ('https://example.invalid/%s.html', caption), ...}
Now you can use e.g. :exmpl:`foo` in your documents. This will create a
link to ``https://example.invalid/foo.html``. The link caption depends on
the *caption* value given:
- If it is ``None``, the caption will be the full URL.
- If it is a string, it must contain ``%s`` exactly once. In this case the
caption will be *caption* with the role content substituted for ``%s``.
You can also give an explicit caption, e.g. :exmpl:`Foo `.
Both, the url string and the caption string must escape ``%`` as ``%%``.
