What is a Domain?
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Originally, Sphinx was conceived for a single project, the documentation of the
|
|
|
|
Python language. Shortly afterwards, it was made available for everyone as a
|
|
|
|
documentation tool, but the documentation of Python modules remained deeply
|
|
|
|
built in -- the most fundamental directives, like ``function``, were designed
|
|
|
|
for Python objects. Since Sphinx has become somewhat popular, interest
|
|
|
|
developed in using it for many different purposes: C/C++ projects, JavaScript,
|
|
|
|
or even reStructuredText markup (like in this documentation).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While this was always possible, it is now much easier to easily support
|
|
|
|
documentation of projects using different programming languages or even ones not
|
|
|
|
supported by the main Sphinx distribution, by providing a **domain** for every
|
|
|
|
such purpose.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A domain is a collection of markup (reStructuredText :term:`directive`\ s and
|
|
|
|
:term:`role`\ s) to describe and link to :term:`object`\ s belonging together,
|
|
|
|
e.g. elements of a programming language. Directive and role names in a domain
|
|
|
|
have names like ``domain:name``, e.g. ``py:function``. Domains can also provide
|
|
|
|
custom indices (like the Python Module Index).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Having domains means that there are no naming problems when one set of
|
|
|
|
documentation wants to refer to e.g. C++ and Python classes. It also means that
|
|
|
|
extensions that support the documentation of whole new languages are much easier
|
|
|
|
to write.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This section describes what the domains that come with Sphinx provide. The
|
|
|
|
domain API is documented as well, in the section :ref:`domain-api`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _basic-domain-markup:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basic Markup
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most domains provide a number of :dfn:`object description directives`, used to
|
|
|
|
describe specific objects provided by modules. Each directive requires one or
|
|
|
|
more signatures to provide basic information about what is being described, and
|
|
|
|
the content should be the description. The basic version makes entries in the
|
|
|
|
general index; if no index entry is desired, you can give the directive option
|
|
|
|
flag ``:noindex:``. An example using a Python domain directive::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. py:function:: spam(eggs)
|
|
|
|
ham(eggs)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Spam or ham the foo.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-05 09:03:36 -05:00
|
|
|
This describes the two Python functions ``spam`` and ``ham``. (Note that when
|
|
|
|
signatures become too long, you can break them if you add a backslash to lines
|
|
|
|
that are continued in the next line. Example::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. py:function:: filterwarnings(action, message='', category=Warning, \
|
|
|
|
module='', lineno=0, append=False)
|
|
|
|
:noindex:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(This example also shows how to use the ``:noindex:`` flag.)
|
|
|
|
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
The domains also provide roles that link back to these object descriptions. For
|
|
|
|
example, to link to one of the functions described in the example above, you
|
|
|
|
could say ::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The function :py:func:`spam` does a similar thing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As you can see, both directive and role names contain the domain name and the
|
|
|
|
directive name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: Default Domain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To avoid having to writing the domain name all the time when you e.g. only
|
|
|
|
describe Python objects, a default domain can be selected with either the config
|
2010-05-23 09:48:54 -05:00
|
|
|
value :confval:`primary_domain` or this directive:
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. default-domain:: name
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2010-05-23 09:48:54 -05:00
|
|
|
Select a new default domain. While the :confval:`primary_domain` selects a
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
global default, this only has an effect within the same file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no other default is selected, the Python domain (named ``py``) is the default
|
|
|
|
one, mostly for compatibility with documentation written for older versions of
|
|
|
|
Sphinx.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Directives and roles that belong to the default domain can be mentioned without
|
|
|
|
giving the domain name, i.e. ::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: pyfunc()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes a Python function.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reference to :func:`pyfunc`.

|
|
|
Cross-referencing syntax
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For cross-reference roles provided by domains, the same facilities exist as for
|
|
|
|
general cross-references. See :ref:`xref-syntax`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In short:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* You may supply an explicit title and reference target: ``:role:`title
|
|
|
|
<target>``` will refer to *target*, but the link text will be *title*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* If you prefix the content with ``!``, no reference/hyperlink will be created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* If you prefix the content with ``~``, the link text will only be the last
|
|
|
|
component of the target. For example, ``:py:meth:`~Queue.Queue.get``` will
|
|
|
|
refer to ``Queue.Queue.get`` but only display ``get`` as the link text.

|
The Python Domain
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Python domain (name **py**) provides the following directives for module
|
|
|
|
declarations:
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. py:module:: name
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This directive marks the beginning of the description of a module (or package
|
|
|
|
submodule, in which case the name should be fully qualified, including the
|
2014-06-18 10:53:25 -05:00
|
|
|
package name). It does not create content (like e.g. :rst:dir:`py:class`
|
|
|
|
does).
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This directive will also cause an entry in the global module index.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``platform`` option, if present, is a comma-separated list of the
|
|
|
|
platforms on which the module is available (if it is available on all
|
|
|
|
platforms, the option should be omitted). The keys are short identifiers;
|
|
|
|
examples that are in use include "IRIX", "Mac", "Windows", and "Unix". It is
|
|
|
|
important to use a key which has already been used when applicable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``synopsis`` option should consist of one sentence describing the
|
|
|
|
module's purpose -- it is currently only used in the Global Module Index.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``deprecated`` option can be given (with no value) to mark a module as
|
|
|
|
deprecated; it will be designated as such in various locations then.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. py:currentmodule:: name
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This directive tells Sphinx that the classes, functions etc. documented from
|
2010-08-05 06:39:23 -05:00
|
|
|
here are in the given module (like :rst:dir:`py:module`), but it will not
|
|
|
|
create index entries, an entry in the Global Module Index, or a link target
|
|
|
|
for :rst:role:`py:mod`. This is helpful in situations where documentation
|
|
|
|
for things in a module is spread over multiple files or sections -- one
|
|
|
|
location has the :rst:dir:`py:module` directive, the others only
|
|
|
|
:rst:dir:`py:currentmodule`.
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following directives are provided for module and class contents:
|
|
|
|
|
2013-11-24 09:02:34 -06:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. py:function:: name(parameters)
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes a module-level function. The signature should include the
|
2014-01-13 12:12:42 -06:00
|
|
|
parameters as given in the Python function definition, see :ref:`signatures`.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2014-01-13 12:12:42 -06:00
|
|
|
.. py:function:: Timer.repeat(repeat=3, number=1000000)
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2014-01-13 12:12:42 -06:00
|
|
|
For methods you should use :rst:dir:`py:method`.
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2014-01-13 13:13:44 -06:00
|
|
|
The description normally includes information about the parameters required
|
|
|
|
and how they are used (especially whether mutable objects passed as
|
|
|
|
parameters are modified), side effects, and possible exceptions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This information can (in any ``py`` directive) optionally be given in a
|
|
|
|
structured form, see :ref:`info-field-lists`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. py:data:: name
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes global data in a module, including both variables and values used
|
|
|
|
as "defined constants." Class and object attributes are not documented
|
|
|
|
using this environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. py:exception:: name
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes an exception class. The signature can, but need not include
|
|
|
|
parentheses with constructor arguments.
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-24 09:02:34 -06:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. py:class:: name
|
|
|
|
.. py:class:: name(parameters)
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-24 09:02:34 -06:00
|
|
|
Describes a class. The signature can optionally include parentheses with
|
|
|
|
parameters which will be shown as the constructor arguments. See also
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
:ref:`signatures`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods and attributes belonging to the class should be placed in this
|
|
|
|
directive's body. If they are placed outside, the supplied name should
|
|
|
|
contain the class name so that cross-references still work. Example::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. py:class:: Foo
|
2014-01-13 12:12:42 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
.. py:method:: quux()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- or --
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. py:class:: Bar
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. py:method:: Bar.quux()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first way is the preferred one.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. py:attribute:: name
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes an object data attribute. The description should include
|
|
|
|
information about the type of the data to be expected and whether it may be
|
|
|
|
changed directly.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-11-24 09:02:34 -06:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. py:method:: name(parameters)
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes an object method. The parameters should not include the ``self``
|
|
|
|
parameter. The description should include similar information to that
|
2014-01-13 12:12:42 -06:00
|
|
|
described for ``function``. See also :ref:`signatures` and
|
|
|
|
:ref:`info-field-lists`.

|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
Like :rst:dir:`py:method`, but indicates that the method is a static method.

2014-01-13 12:12:42 -06:00
|
|
|
Describes a decorator function. The signature should represent the usage as

a decorator. For example, given the functions
|
2011-01-08 03:07:42 -06:00
|
|

|
|

return decorator
|
|
|
|
|

the descriptions should look like this::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. py:decorator:: removename
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remove name of the decorated function.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. py:decorator:: setnewname(name)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set name of the decorated function to *name*.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-11-25 13:43:23 -06:00
|
|
|
(as opposed to ``.. py:decorator:: removename(func)``.)
|
|
|
|
|
2011-01-08 03:07:42 -06:00
|
|
|
There is no ``py:deco`` role to link to a decorator that is marked up with
|
|
|
|
this directive; rather, use the :rst:role:`py:func` role.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. py:decoratormethod:: name
|
|
|
|
.. py:decoratormethod:: name(signature)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Same as :rst:dir:`py:decorator`, but for decorators that are methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Refer to a decorator method using the :rst:role:`py:meth` role.

Python Signatures
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Signatures of functions, methods and class constructors can be given like they
|
2014-01-13 12:12:42 -06:00
|
|
|
would be written in Python.
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default values for optional arguments can be given (but if they contain commas,
|
|
|
|
they will confuse the signature parser). Python 3-style argument annotations
|
|
|
|
can also be given as well as return type annotations::
|
|
|
|
|
2014-01-13 12:12:42 -06:00
|
|
|
.. py:function:: compile(source : string, filename, symbol='file') -> ast object
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For functions with optional parameters that don't have default values (typically
|
|
|
|
functions implemented in C extension modules without keyword argument support),
|
|
|
|
you can use brackets to specify the optional parts:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. py:function:: compile(source[, filename[, symbol]])
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is customary to put the opening bracket before the comma.

|
are recognized and formatted nicely:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ``param``, ``parameter``, ``arg``, ``argument``, ``key``, ``keyword``:
|
|
|
|
Description of a parameter.
|
2014-11-12 04:32:21 -06:00
|
|
|
* ``type``: Type of a parameter. Creates a link if possible.
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
* ``raises``, ``raise``, ``except``, ``exception``: That (and when) a specific
|
|
|
|
exception is raised.
|
|
|
|
* ``var``, ``ivar``, ``cvar``: Description of a variable.
|
|
|
|
* ``returns``, ``return``: Description of the return value.
|
2014-11-12 04:32:21 -06:00
|
|
|
* ``rtype``: Return type. Creates a link if possible.
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The field names must consist of one of these keywords and an argument (except
|
|
|
|
for ``returns`` and ``rtype``, which do not need an argument). This is best
|
|
|
|
explained by an example::
|
|
|
|
|
2013-09-05 11:52:54 -05:00
|
|
|
.. py:function:: send_message(sender, recipient, message_body, [priority=1])
|

|
|
|
|
2013-09-05 11:52:54 -05:00
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
:type priority: integer or None
|
|
|

:rtype: int
|
|
|
|

|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will render like this:
|
|
|
|

It is also possible to combine parameter type and description, if the type is a

single word, like this::
|
|

Cross-referencing Python objects
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following roles refer to objects in modules and are possibly hyperlinked if
|
|
|
|
a matching identifier is found:
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:role:: py:mod
|
2010-03-01 07:53:30 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reference a module; a dotted name may be used. This should also be used for
|
|
|
|
package names.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:role:: py:func
|
2010-03-01 07:53:30 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reference a Python function; dotted names may be used. The role text needs
|
|
|
|
not include trailing parentheses to enhance readability; they will be added
|
|
|
|
automatically by Sphinx if the :confval:`add_function_parentheses` config
|
2014-06-18 11:34:28 -05:00
|
|
|
value is ``True`` (the default).
|
2010-03-01 07:53:30 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:role:: py:data
|
2010-03-01 07:53:30 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reference a module-level variable.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:role:: py:const
|
2010-03-01 07:53:30 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2014-01-11 07:52:41 -06:00
|
|
|
Reference a "defined" constant. This may be a Python variable that is not
|
|
|
|
intended to be changed.
|
2010-03-01 07:53:30 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:role:: py:class
|
2010-03-01 07:53:30 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reference a class; a dotted name may be used.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:role:: py:meth
|
2010-03-01 07:53:30 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reference a method of an object. The role text can include the type name and
|
|
|
|
the method name; if it occurs within the description of a type, the type name
|
|
|
|
can be omitted. A dotted name may be used.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:role:: py:attr
|
2010-03-01 07:53:30 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reference a data attribute of an object.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:role:: py:exc
|
2010-03-01 07:53:30 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reference an exception. A dotted name may be used.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:role:: py:obj
|
2010-03-01 07:53:30 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reference an object of unspecified type. Useful e.g. as the
|
|
|
|
:confval:`default_role`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 0.4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name enclosed in this markup can include a module name and/or a class name.
|
|
|
|
For example, ``:py:func:`filter``` could refer to a function named ``filter`` in
|
|
|
|
the current module, or the built-in function of that name. In contrast,
|
|
|
|
``:py:func:`foo.filter``` clearly refers to the ``filter`` function in the
|
|
|
|
``foo`` module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Normally, names in these roles are searched first without any further
|
|
|
|
qualification, then with the current module name prepended, then with the
|
|
|
|
current module and class name (if any) prepended. If you prefix the name with a
|
|
|
|
dot, this order is reversed. For example, in the documentation of Python's
|
|
|
|
:mod:`codecs` module, ``:py:func:`open``` always refers to the built-in
|
|
|
|
function, while ``:py:func:`.open``` refers to :func:`codecs.open`.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-05 06:39:23 -05:00
|
|
|
A similar heuristic is used to determine whether the name is an attribute of the
|
|
|
|
currently documented class.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-06-12 04:37:56 -05:00
|
|
|
Also, if the name is prefixed with a dot, and no exact match is found, the
|
|
|
|
target is taken as a suffix and all object names with that suffix are
|
|
|
|
searched. For example, ``:py:meth:`.TarFile.close``` references the
|
|
|
|
``tarfile.TarFile.close()`` function, even if the current module is not
|
|
|
|
``tarfile``. Since this can get ambiguous, if there is more than one possible
|
|
|
|
match, you will get a warning from Sphinx.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-05 06:39:23 -05:00
|
|
|
Note that you can combine the ``~`` and ``.`` prefixes:
|
|
|
|
``:py:meth:`~.TarFile.close``` will reference the ``tarfile.TarFile.close()``
|
|
|
|
method, but the visible link caption will only be ``close()``.

The C Domain
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The C domain (name **c**) is suited for documentation of C API.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. c:function:: type name(signature)
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes a C function. The signature should be given as in C, e.g.::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyType_GenericAlloc(PyTypeObject *type, Py_ssize_t nitems)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is also used to describe function-like preprocessor macros. The names
|
|
|
|
of the arguments should be given so they may be used in the description.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you don't have to backslash-escape asterisks in the signature, as
|
|
|
|
it is not parsed by the reST inliner.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. c:member:: type name
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes a C struct member. Example signature::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:member:: PyObject* PyTypeObject.tp_bases
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The text of the description should include the range of values allowed, how
|
|
|
|
the value should be interpreted, and whether the value can be changed.
|
|
|
|
References to structure members in text should use the ``member`` role.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. c:macro:: name
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes a "simple" C macro. Simple macros are macros which are used for
|
|
|
|
code expansion, but which do not take arguments so cannot be described as
|
2014-01-11 07:52:41 -06:00
|
|
|
functions. This is a simple C-language ``#define``. Examples of its use in
|
|
|
|
the Python documentation include :c:macro:`PyObject_HEAD` and
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
:c:macro:`Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS`.

.. rst:directive:: .. c:type:: name
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes a C type (whether defined by a typedef or struct). The signature
|
|
|
|
should just be the type name.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. c:var:: type name
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes a global C variable. The signature should include the type, such
|
|
|
|
as::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:var:: PyObject* PyClass_Type
|

|
|
|
Describe a (scoped) enum, possibly with the underlying type specified.
|
2015-01-03 09:59:08 -06:00
|
|
|
Any enumerators declared inside an unscoped enum will be declared both in the enum scope
|
|
|
|
and in the parent scope.
|
2015-02-26 14:44:46 -06:00
|
|
|
Examples::
|
2015-01-03 09:59:08 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:enum:: MyEnum
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An unscoped enum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:enum:: MySpecificEnum : long
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An unscoped enum with specified underlying type.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-02-08 16:09:44 -06:00
|
|
|
.. cpp:enum-class:: MyScopedEnum
|
2015-01-03 09:59:08 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A scoped enum.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-02-08 16:09:44 -06:00
|
|
|
.. cpp:enum-struct:: protected MyScopedVisibilityEnum : std::underlying_type<MySpecificEnum>::type
|
2015-01-03 09:59:08 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A scoped enum with non-default visibility, and with a specified underlying type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. cpp:enumerator:: name
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:enumerator:: name = constant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describe an enumerator, optionally with its value defined.
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-27 04:42:01 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. cpp:namespace:: namespace
|

|
|
|
|
2015-02-08 16:09:44 -06:00
|
|
|
Select the current namespace for the subsequent objects. Note that the namespace
|
2014-08-06 11:54:00 -05:00
|
|
|
does not need to correspond to C++ namespaces, but can end in names of classes, e.g.,::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:namespace:: Namespace1::Namespace2::SomeClass::AnInnerClass
|
|
|
|
|
2015-02-08 16:09:44 -06:00
|
|
|
All subsequent objects will be defined as if their name were declared with the namespace
|
|
|
|
prepended. The subsequent cross-references will be searched for by both their specified name
|
2014-08-06 11:54:00 -05:00
|
|
|
and with the namespace prepended.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-02-08 16:09:44 -06:00
|
|
|
Using ``NULL``, ``0``, or ``nullptr`` as the namespace will reset it to the global namespace.

2014-06-19 11:14:47 -05:00
|
|
|
Sphinx's syntax to give references a custom title can interfere with
|
2010-06-05 11:21:48 -05:00
|
|
|
linking to template classes, if nothing follows the closing angle
|
|
|
|
bracket, i.e. if the link looks like this: ``:cpp:class:`MyClass<T>```.
|
|
|
|
This is interpreted as a link to ``T`` with a title of ``MyClass``.
|
|
|
|
In this case, please escape the opening angle bracket with a backslash,
|
|
|
|
like this: ``:cpp:class:`MyClass\<T>```.

.. admonition:: Note on References
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is currently impossible to link to a specific version of an
|
|
|
|
overloaded method. Currently the C++ domain is the first domain
|
|
|
|
that has basic support for overloaded methods and until there is more
|
|
|
|
data for comparison we don't want to select a bad syntax to reference a
|
|
|
|
specific overload. Currently Sphinx will link to the first overloaded
|
|
|
|
version of the method / function.
|
|
|
|
|
2014-08-06 11:54:00 -05:00
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Note on Template Delcarations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The C++ domain currently does not support template classes/functions/aliases/variables
|
|
|
|
(e.g., ``template<typename T> MyClass``), only template instantiations
|
|
|
|
(e.g., ``MyClass<T>``).

|
|
The Standard Domain
|
|
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The so-called "standard" domain collects all markup that doesn't warrant a
|
|
|
|
domain of its own. Its directives and roles are not prefixed with a domain
|
|
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The standard domain is also where custom object descriptions, added using the
|
|
|
|
:func:`~sphinx.application.Sphinx.add_object_type` API, are placed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a set of directives allowing documenting command-line programs:
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. option:: name args, name args, ...
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2014-01-22 10:42:38 -06:00
|
|
|
Describes a command line argument or switch. Option argument names should be
|
|
|
|
enclosed in angle brackets. Examples::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. option:: dest_dir
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Destination directory.
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -m <module>, --module <module>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run a module as a script.
|
|
|
|
|
2014-01-22 10:42:38 -06:00
|
|
|
The directive will create cross-reference targets for the given options,
|
|
|
|
referencable by :rst:role:`option` (in the example case, you'd use something
|
|
|
|
like ``:option:`dest_dir```, ``:option:`-m```, or ``:option:`--module```).
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. envvar:: name
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes an environment variable that the documented code or program uses or
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
defines. Referencable by :rst:role:`envvar`.
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. program:: name
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2014-06-18 10:53:25 -05:00
|
|
|
Like :rst:dir:`py:currentmodule`, this directive produces no output.
|
|
|
|
Instead, it serves to notify Sphinx that all following :rst:dir:`option`
|
|
|
|
directives document options for the program called *name*.
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
If you use :rst:dir:`program`, you have to qualify the references in your
|
|
|
|
:rst:role:`option` roles by the program name, so if you have the following
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
situation ::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. program:: rm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -r
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Work recursively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. program:: svn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -r revision
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specify the revision to work upon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
then ``:option:`rm -r``` would refer to the first option, while
|
|
|
|
``:option:`svn -r``` would refer to the second one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The program name may contain spaces (in case you want to document subcommands
|
|
|
|
like ``svn add`` and ``svn commit`` separately).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 0.5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also a very generic object description directive, which is not tied to
|
|
|
|
any domain:
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. describe:: text
|
2010-03-01 07:22:14 -06:00
|
|
|
.. object:: text
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This directive produces the same formatting as the specific ones provided by
|
|
|
|
domains, but does not create index entries or cross-referencing targets.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: PAPER
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can set this variable to select a paper size.
|

|
2010-04-08 14:33:03 -05:00

|
|
The JavaScript Domain
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The JavaScript domain (name **js**) provides the following directives:
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. js:function:: name(signature)
|
2010-03-30 13:40:46 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2010-05-27 06:52:02 -05:00
|
|
|
Describes a JavaScript function or method. If you want to describe
|
|
|
|
arguments as optional use square brackets as :ref:`documented
|
2010-04-08 14:33:03 -05:00
|
|
|
<signatures>` for Python signatures.
|
2010-03-30 14:14:01 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2010-03-31 10:15:43 -05:00
|
|
|
You can use fields to give more details about arguments and their expected
|
|
|
|
types, errors which may be thrown by the function, and the value being
|
|
|
|
returned::
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-08 14:33:03 -05:00
|
|
|
.. js:function:: $.getJSON(href, callback[, errback])
|
2010-03-31 10:15:43 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2010-04-08 14:33:03 -05:00
|
|
|
:param string href: An URI to the location of the resource.
|
2014-01-11 07:52:41 -06:00
|
|
|
:param callback: Gets called with the object.
|
2010-04-08 14:33:03 -05:00
|
|
|
:param errback:
|
2014-01-11 07:52:41 -06:00
|
|
|
Gets called in case the request fails. And a lot of other
|
|
|
|
text so we need multiple lines.
|
2010-04-08 14:33:03 -05:00
|
|
|
:throws SomeError: For whatever reason in that case.
|
2014-01-11 07:52:41 -06:00
|
|
|
:returns: Something.
|
2010-03-31 10:15:43 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is rendered as:
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-08 14:33:03 -05:00
|
|
|
.. js:function:: $.getJSON(href, callback[, errback])
|
2010-03-31 10:15:43 -05:00

2010-05-27 06:52:02 -05:00
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. js:class:: name
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describes a constructor that creates an object. This is basically like
|
|
|
|
a function but will show up with a `class` prefix::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. js:class:: MyAnimal(name[, age])
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:param string name: The name of the animal
|
|
|
|
:param number age: an optional age for the animal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is rendered as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. js:class:: MyAnimal(name[, age])
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:param string name: The name of the animal
|
|

The reStructuredText domain
|

|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:29:14 -05:00
|
|
|
The reStructuredText domain (name **rst**) provides the following directives:
|
2010-04-15 14:55:18 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:39:51 -05:00

|
|
|
|
2010-04-17 03:29:14 -05:00
|
|
|
Describes a reST directive. The *name* can be a single directive name or
|
|
|
|
actual directive syntax (`..` prefix and `::` suffix) with arguments that
|
|
|
|
will be rendered differently. For example::
|
2010-04-15 14:55:18 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
