+Many projects have links back to their issues / PRs hosted on platforms like **GitHub**, **GitLab**, or **Bitbucket**.
 Instead of displaying these as raw links, this theme does some lightweight formatting for these platforms specifically.
 
 In **reStructuredText**, URLs are automatically converted to links, so this works automatically.
