Description

There are important differences between sphinxdoc.css and basic.css from sphinx installation directory and https://matplotlib.org/sampledoc/
With the css from the installation directory the hrefs in the sitebar are not working.
So I replaced the css from the installation directory with the css that I copied from https://matplotlib.org/sampledoc/_static dir website.
You have to place them in the ....\site-packages\sphinx\... installation directory because with every rebuild of your documentation the css is copied from there to your build directory!

Research direction

Compare sphinxdoc.css and basic.css from the Sphinx installation directory with the CSS under https://matplotlib.org/sampledoc/_static. First determine which files in this repository or the Sphinx installation supply the rebuilt documentation; done means the rebuilt site's sidebar links work without manually replacing installed CSS.
