Problem description
Although sphinx-build does exit correctly, no html file corresponding to the single required file is created in the build/html folder. The build/html folder is as follows:
.
├── genindex.html
├── index.html
├── objects.inv
├── py-modindex.html
├── search.html
├── searchindex.js
├── _sources
│ └── index.rst.txt
└── _static
├── ajax-loader.gif
├── banklist.html
├── basic.css
├── ...
The page opened in the web browser also gives back a 404.
From my first look around in make.py, I do not see anywhere where we are using the single parameter, except in the init function of DocBuilder. I will investigate further.
