Image in Sphinx without html link

Question

How can I simply prevent automatic link on images in a Sphinx/reStructuredText, which are using :scale: attribute? The documentation is exported as HTML, and I would like the image not to be clickable. I want reduce them in size for better document readability and it would be simpler to adjust the size with :scale: attribut rather than image editions.

Answer 1

The html_scaled_image_link configuration option can be used to globally turn on/off this behaviour.

Authors can override this for individual images with:

• the :target: option and an URL, if the generic setting is False,
• the :class: option with value no-scaled-link, if the generic setting is True (since Sphinx 3.0).
