#51536  Thanks could you remove the custom template as described in that issue hi @mroeschke thanks for checking out! I read their doc about, but in order to have the pandas copyright, we will have to use their customized template approach as mentioned https://pydata-sphinx-theme.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_guide/layout.html#add-your-own-html-templates-to-theme-sections.

Although in their library, the "copyright" keyword is in the package and if you were to do without custom template, you can access into their library on server side to change the copyright.html as shown https://github.com/pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme/blob/main/src/pydata_sphinx_theme/theme/pydata_sphinx_theme/components/copyright.html

Hope this clear things up.  No you can add their copyright component to add into the `html_theme_options` config: https://pydata-sphinx-theme.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_guide/layout.html#built-in-components-to-insert-into-sections

It uses the `copyright` variable defined in `conf.py`  Hi, you were right, it can be done without _template, here's the work i had. Hope this solves it! Hi, the reason I used Markup() because without it the footer would read the code in ascii and show it as this
