I recently changed my html theme in sphinx from alabaster to sphinx_rtd_theme, and there is one feature that I'm missing. When opening a code section with the viewcode extension, the linked code block will be highlighted (the yellowish background behind the linked section).

Which now doesn't happen any more:

Is there a way to enable it? I searched here for that config option but couldn't find anything related.

To me those two screen shots look very similar. What is the problem? – mzjn Nov 29 '19 at 10:09
the yellow background behind the linked section. Like in the python docs, if I link to [the abs function](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#abs), then that line will be "highlighted". – Arne Nov 29 '19 at 10:42
I'm afraid you will need to edit rtd theme. – Luis Andres Giordano Nov 29 '19 at 23:24
