Research direction

Open conf.py in sampledoc and inspect the Sphinx extension configuration that emits the deprecation warning. Build sampledoc to verify the warning is gone after the configuration uses the current extension location.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This causes a warning when I build sampledoc.

 MatplotlibDeprecationWarning: 
The Sphinx extension ipython_console_highlighting has moved from
matplotlib to IPython, and its use in matplotlib is deprecated.
Change your import from 'matplotlib.sphinxext.ipython_directive' to
'IPython.sphinxext.ipython_directive.

The change should be made in conf.py in sampledoc.
