It works when I build locally. The [`conf.py` file](https://github.com/kaspermarstal/SimpleElastix/tree/d39c171606ad9e66477f017a49ee39007207cb54/Documentation/source/conf.py) explicitly states only to use `.rst` files but this is ignored and readthedocs reverts to the default (I guess) and uses the `README.md` file in the root of the repo as if `conf.py` is not found. What's worse, if I set `Advanced Settings > Python configuration file` to `randomDirectoryThatDoesntExist/conf.py` no errors are thrown, everything is completely as if the field is left blank or set to `Documentation/conf.py` which is the true path. Since readthedocs works for so many people I am sure the error lies with own my setup but it is not obvious to me what it is and I have been unable to find a solution in the documentation. \r\n\r\nAny hints on why this does not work on readthedocs.org while it works locally? The entire source code is [here](https://github.com/kaspermarstal/SimpleElastix/tree/d39c171606ad9e66477f017a49ee39007207cb54/Documentation)."}}
