Summary

Fixes the Sphinx warning that appears during make lint and make html:

WARNING: html_static_path entry 'source/_static' is placed inside outdir

Changes

Use os.path.abspath() to convert the relative path to an absolute path:

- html_static_path = ['source/_static']
+ html_static_path = [os.path.abspath('source/_static')]

Testing

  • make html builds without warnings
  • Static files (custom.css) still work correctly

Fixes #6071
