From c380ba5a177de32e97820279685c4af6f837c010 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Quentin Schulz Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2021 18:07:24 +0200 Subject: docs: replace anchor links Anchor links are treated by Sphinx as external links and are not checked during build, meaning it is impossible to know if a link becomes broken or not. As a matter of fact, most of the anchor links replaced in this commit were actually broken. The README now states that anchor links are forbidden so that there's no need to go through such a change later on.
