Failure when building with Sphinx 7.2

[s3v-]

Hi,
behave fails to build against Sphinx 7.2 as reported in Debian [1].

$ sphinx-build -b html behave-1.2.6/docs/ .
Running Sphinx v7.2.6
WARNING: html_static_path entry '_static' is placed inside outdir

Kind Regards

Have to tried building the docs using Tox?

tox run -e docs

Not yet, but I don't expect failures with that.
I see a constraint has been introduced in ddcaca4

# BEHAVE: PYTHON PACKAGE REQUIREMENTS: For documentation generation
# ============================================================================
# REQUIRES: pip >= 8.0
+ # AVOID: shponx v4.4.0 and newer -- Problems w/ new link check suggestion warnings

- sphinx >= 1.6
+ sphinx >=1.6,<4.4
sphinx-autobuild
sphinx_bootstrap_theme >= 0.6.0

Root problem is that a single "%s" is mandatory (since Sphinx 6) whether the caption is a string in "extlinks" config value.

I think we can close this issue, can't we?
