"""Generate ``fixtures/docx/rel-target-mode-external--<id>.docx`` fixtures.

Emits a one-paragraph document whose sole content is an external hyperlink
to ``--url`` displayed as ``--text``. python-docx routes this through
``Paragraph.add_hyperlink(url=..., style=None)`` which in turn calls
``part.relate_to(url, RT.HYPERLINK, is_external=True)`` — so the resulting
``word/_rels/document.xml.rels`` carries the hyperlink rel with
``TargetMode="External"``.
