Sphinx Extensions
=================
.. module:: sphinx.application
:synopsis: Application class and extensibility interface.
Since many projects will need special features in their documentation, Sphinx is
designed to be extensible on several levels.
First, you can add new :term:`builder`\s to support new output formats or
actions on the parsed documents. Then, it is possible to register custom
reStructuredText roles and directives, extending the markup. And finally, there
are so-called "hook points" at strategic places throughout the build process,
where an extension can register a hook and run specialized code.
The configuration file itself can be an extension, see the :confval:`extensions`
configuration value docs.
