:mod:`sphinx.ext.autosectionlabel` -- Allow reference sections using its title
==============================================================================
.. module:: sphinx.ext.autosectionlabel
:synopsis: Allow reference section its title.
.. versionadded:: 1.4
This extension allows you to refer sections its title. This affects to the
reference role (:rst:role:`ref`).
For example::
A Plain Title
-------------
This is the text of the section.
It refers to the section title, see :ref:`A Plain Title`.
Internally, this extension generates the labels for each section. If same
section names are used in whole of document, any one is used for a target by
default. The ``autosectionlabel_prefix_document`` configuration variable can be
used to make headings which appear multiple times but in different documents
unique.
Configuration
-------------
.. confval:: autosectionlabel_prefix_document
True to prefix each section label with the name of the document it is in,
followed by a colon. For example, ``index:Introduction`` for a section
called ``Introduction`` that appears in document ``index.rst``. Useful for
avoiding ambiguity when the same section heading appears in different
documents.
.. confval:: autosectionlabel_maxdepth
If set, autosectionlabel chooses the sections for labeling by its depth. For
example, when set 1 to ``autosectionlabel_maxdepth``, labels are generated
only for top level sections, and deeper sections are not labeled. It
defaults to ``None`` (disabled).
