Add html line to footer

[michaelweinold]

I would like to add an html string of this sort:

<p>Sample footer text <a href='https://example.com'></p>

between the "footer_start": ["copyright"] and the footer_end (which is not explicitly defined in the config, but displays the "Built with the PyData Sphinx Theme 0.13.3.".

I tried to add this to a footer.html file that I put into a _templates directory, as described here - that does not seem to work.

Compare also the discussion:

As yous saw, there are already 2 subsection in the footer: footer_start and footer_end. they are described here in our documetnation: https://pydata-sphinx-theme.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_guide/layout.html#footer

I agree footer_end is missing I'll do a quick PR.

if you want to know it's content it sis set here:

pydata-sphinx-theme/src/pydata_sphinx_theme/theme/pydata_sphinx_theme/theme.conf

Line 50 in d98350b

footer_end = theme-version.html

so what happend if you set in templates a footer_test.html` with the following content:

<p>Sample footer text <a href='https://example.com'></p>

and then add it in the footer_end link this:

html_theme_options = {
  # ...
  "footer_end": ["theme-version", "footer_test"],
  # ...
}

and then add it in the footer_end link this

...now it works - perhaps it was an issue with the templates_path variable. Many thanks!
