Description of the problem
The highlighted text can be very annoying, for example: https://coq.inria.fr/refman/user-extensions/syntax-extensions.html?highlight=notation#coq:cmd.Notation
Note that the URL itself mentions the highlighting, and manually editing the URL gets rid of it. I wish there was a better way though.
We identified two possible avenues towards getting rid of it in this zulip discussion:
Include a button to hide the highlighting, like this. Sphinx has this feature, but not Read the Docs, and it seems it will continue not having it:
A button for removing
highlight
content from the page readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#816See also Proof of Concept: Hide search matches readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#876
This hypothetical button could perhaps be implemented on Coq's side.
Deploy the refman with Sphinx >= 4.5.0 in order to take advantage of Implement new search shortcuts. sphinx-doc/sphinx#9337. Note that 4.5.0 is the dev version at the time of writing.
