""" This is a sphinx extension to freeze your broken reference problems when using ``nitpicky = True``. The basic operation is: 1. Add this extension to your ``conf.py`` extensions. 2. Add ``missing_references_write_json = True`` to your ``conf.py`` 3. Run sphinx-build. It will generate ``missing-references.json`` next to your ``conf.py``. 4. Remove ``missing_references_write_json = True`` from your ``conf.py`` (or set it to ``False``) 5. Run sphinx-build again, and ``nitpick_ignore`` will contain all of the previously failed references.
