In an effort to make the .rst files more readable I started using substitutions instead of refs everywhere for common objects. For example :ref:user-story is now |user story|. The output is fine, but when a user mistypes a substitution we do not see any errors when we execute make livehtml like we do when we use :refs:. Is there a way to see undefined references like we do with ref's.

I've tried, with no success. make livehtml -W make livehtml -Wv

I do see errors like duplicate substitutions, but not unresolved substitutions.

Sphinx 1.4.6

Windows 10

Python 2.7.11

  • I cannot reproduce this. A reference to an undefined substitution makes Sphinx emit 'ERROR: Undefined substitution referenced: "TEST"'. – mzjn Nov 18 '16 at 11:49
  • Sorry to bump, in favor of tidiness you should accept the solution if it solved the problem. Otherwise the question shows as unsolved. – bad_coder Oct 10 '20 at 04:59

After some trial and error using -n for nit-picky mode displayed undefined substitution errors when building. 

make livehtml -n
