RTFD default theme: links to the page source on github

[pkra]

This is another idea/feature request for the RTFD default theme.

If the source is on github, it would be useful to have a link to github's source of each page to quickly correct typos etc.

Kind of an "edit" button, if you will.

This has something similar in it. I'd love to see it implemented across the whole site, if you have any ideas on how to do it.

We have implemented something similar for ZF2 docs

• Source: https://github.com/zendframework/zf2-documentation/tree/master/docs/languages/en/_templates
• Result: http://zend-framework-2-doc.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

We need harcode the URLs because we don't know how to get the following parameters:

• Repository
• Branch
• Locale

Thanks!

I don't know enough about RTFD to make any informed comment on how to do this site-wide, but I think I can at least use your helpful examples.

This is now done, and is enabled for anyone using the main RTD theme. It takes a rebuild to work, and let me know if people see any issues.

Awesome! Thanks for adding it.
