Could you please show an example (as screenshot for example)

Hello, I apologize for the late response. Finals week and everything at the end of the semester was kind of crazy.

Attached below are some screenshots of what I am looking for:

For the 1st screenshot:

This is a code snippet (same as the PR except for line 39) that demonstrates what I am trying to do.

For the 2nd screenshot:

A UI showing the result would be on each documentation page.

I have tested this locally and the URL splicing works well - I would love to continue working on this feature until hopefully, it gets accepted. Thank you and I look forward to your response.

Also, I wanted to briefly explain my thought process:

I have decided to place the source link, named "Source Documentation" on the sidebar of each documentation page in the sidebar template file.

To make sure that the proper URL is accessed, I broke down the URL into three parts:

1. Base URL (line 39 in code screenshot above) (Ex: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/master/doc/source/)
2. Path of file: (line 22 in code screenshot above) (Ex: getting_started/tutorials)
3. replacing ".html" with ".rst": (line 23 in code screenshot above) (Ex: .rst)

Full URL: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/master/doc/source/getting_started/tutorials.rst

This way, we can ensure that we always access the proper .rst file each time the link is clicked on a given documentation page.

Hi @phofl I was wondering if you had seen my recent comments? Thank you for your time and help.

Hi @ADing4818 - does the link always link to https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/tree/master/doc/source/ ? Reading the issue, I think the suggestion was that for each page, the link would go to where in the docs that page was is generated
