title: Generating an external link in Sphinx
body: <p>I'd like to link to some URL in my Sphinx docs:</p>
  <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;a href=&quot;http://some.url&quot;&gt;blah&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>I have found something similar in the docs: <a href="http://sphinx-doc.org/ext/extlinks.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://sphinx-doc.org/ext/extlinks.html</a> - but it is rather about replacing the custom syntax with the link, by convention. Instead, I just want to generate a link to external web resource.</p>
