The 'README.rst' file states that the py-template template uses Sphinx for generating documentation:

- Documentation with Sphinx_ and `Read the Docs`_ using the furo_ theme

NOTE that there is actually no link for Sphinx, or furo theme for Sphinx.

But actually, the py-template uses MkDocs, as seen by the fact that the template generates mkdocs.yml file (which looks like it didn't fill the correct values, as it still refers to iterative and py-template), and that the docs/gen_ref_pages.py uses mkdocs_gen_file module.

Not Sphinx.

Please fix the README, as follows... or make the template use Sphinx with furo theme, as stated in the README.

- Documentation with MkDocs_ and `Read the Docs`_ using the material_ theme .. _material: https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/ .. _MkDocs: https://www.mkdocs.org/ .. _Read the Docs: https://readthedocs.org/
