The Cookbook contains false links to rts files

Description of the problem

When reading the cookbook, one can see a "Edit on GitLab" link that leads to the RTS file in Gitlab corresponding to the current page.

link_to_gitlab

But in the case of the OTB Applications, this link leads to a file that doesn't exists. This is due to the fact that the RTS files for the OTB Applications are not stored on Gitlab. They are generated from the source code. When Sphinx generates the Cookbook from RTS files, it creates this erroneous link.

Possible solutions

  • Deactivate the display of this link. If possible only for the OTB Applications.

  • Modify this link so it leads to the OTB Application source code.
