Sphinx FAQ
==========
This is a list of Frequently Asked Questions about Sphinx. Feel free to
suggest new entries!
How do I...
-----------
... get section numbers?
They are automatic in LaTeX output; for HTML, give a ``:numbered:`` option to
the :dir:`toctree` directive where you want to start numbering.
... customize the look of the built HTML files?
Use themes, see :doc:`theming`.
... add global substitutions or includes?
Add them in the :confval:`rst_epilog` config value.
... write my own extension?
See the :ref:`extension tutorial <exttut>`.
... use Sphinx with Epydoc?
There's a third-party extension providing an `api role`_ which refers to
Epydoc's API docs for a given identifier.
... use Sphinx with SCons?
Glenn Hutchings has written a SCons build script to build Sphinx
documentation; it is hosted here: http://bitbucket.org/zondo/sphinx-scons
... convert from my existing docs using MoinMoin markup?
The easiest way is to convert to xhtml, then convert `xhtml to reST`_. You'll
still need to mark up classes and such, but the headings and code examples
come through cleanly.
