Sphinx latexpdf ignore parts of a file

Question

Is it possible to have Sphinx ignore part of index.rst when building the pdf with latexpdf?

For example, my index.rst file contains (but does not begin with) the lines

.. image:: https://img.shields.io/....
  :target: https://pypi.org/....

.. image::  https://travis-ci.org/....
  :target: https://travis-ci.org/...

.. image:: https://coveralls.io/repos/github/....
  :target: https://coveralls.io/github/....

.. image::  https://readthedocs.org/.....
  :target: https://libensemble.readthedocs.org/....

These should appear in the html that is built, but not in the PDF. I didn't see anything here: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/latex.html

Is it possible to tell sphinx to ignore these lines?

I think you could use only directive:

• in index.rst

 .. only:: html

     .. image::  https://readthedocs.org/.....
     :target: https://libensemble.readthedocs.org/....

• in Makefile

 htmldoc:

    make -e SPHINXOPTS="-t html" html
