Hello, CMake Team.

Recently, I posted a question on Stack Overflow, asking about how to translate the content of ‘parsed-literal’ directive of Sphinx if there exist hyperlinks (against thst [part](https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/v3.28.4/Help/manual/cmake.1.rst?plain=1#L9-L37) in cmake.1.rst):

> <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78238754/how-to-translate-the-content-of-the-parsed-literal-directive-of-sphinx-if-ther>

However, after doing some other tests, I started to think whether it is some kind of bugs?

Because even if I don’t translate the hyperlink part of the ‘parsed-literal’ directive, the hyperlinks are still broken. Take the following screenshot for reference.

As we can see, I only translate this [line](https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/b5602e7254c8ce4a6f732c017d784cd80559e5aa/Help/manual/cmake.1.rst?plain=1#L12):

```auto
cmake [<options>] -B <path-to-build> [-S <path-to-source>]

```

into:

```auto
cmake [<選項>] -B <path-to-build> [-S <path-to-source>]

```

But the hyperlinks are still broken. Is it possible a bug from [cmake.py](https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/v3.28.4/Utilities/Sphinx/cmake.py)?

I created an issue in Sphinx:

- [Failed to translate the content of ‘parsed-literal’ directive with hyperlinks in cmake.1.rst · Issue #12278 · sphinx-doc/sphinx · GitHub](https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/12278)

And there’s a duplicate issue to keep tracking it:

- [Translated parsed-literals are incorrectly rendered · Issue #12287 · sphinx-doc/sphinx · GitHub](https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/12287)

It seems that this issue is actually a bug from Sphinx itself.
