Previously, users could specify a *list* of flags in their config files. The flags were directive names that would otherwise be present in the .rst files. However, as a list, it was not possible to specify values to those flags, which *is* possible in .rst files. For example, in .rst you could say :special-members: __init__, __iter__ And this would cause autodoc to generate documents for these methods that it would otherwise ignore. This commit changes the config option to instead accept a dictionary. This is a dictionary whose keys can contain the same flag-names as before, but whose values can contain the arguments as seen in .rst files. The old list is still supported, for backwards compatibility, but the data is transformed into a dictionary when the user's config is loaded.

It was originally created for the new Python documentation, and has excellent facilities for Python project documentation, but C/C++ is supported as well, and more languages are planned. Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its strengths come from the power and straightforwardness of reStructuredText and its parsing and translating suite, the Docutils. Among its features are the following: * Output formats: HTML (including derivative formats such as HTML Help, Epub and Qt Help), plain text, manual pages and LaTeX or direct PDF output using rst2pdf * Extensive cross-references: semantic markup and automatic links for functions, classes, glossary terms and similar pieces of information * Hierarchical structure: easy definition of a document tree, with automatic links to siblings, parents and children * Automatic indices: general index as well as a module index * Code handling: automatic highlighting using the Pygments highlighter * Flexible HTML output using the Jinja 2 templating engine * Various extensions are available, e.g. for automatic testing of snippets and inclusion of appropriately formatted docstrings * Setuptools integration For more information, refer to the `the documentation`__. .. __: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/ Installation ============ Sphinx is published on `PyPI`__ and can be installed from there:: pip install -U sphinx We also publish beta releases:: pip install -U --pre sphinx If you wish to install `Sphinx` for development purposes, refer to `the contributors guide`__. __ https://pypi.org/project/Sphinx/ __ http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/devguide.html Documentation ============= Documentation is available from `sphinx-doc.org`__. __ http://www.sphinx-doc.org/ Get in touch ============ - Report bugs, suggest features or view the source code `on GitHub`_. - For less well defined questions or ideas, use the `mailing list`_. .. _on GitHub: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx .. _mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/sphinx-users Testing ======= Continuous testing is provided by `Travis`__ (for unit tests and style checks on Linux), `AppVeyor`__ (for unit tests on Windows), and `CircleCI`__ (for large processes like TeX compilation).
