The Sphinx documentation generator
90f7c7ef3f
It is useful to have the HTML documentation builder actually link to real rendered versions of HTML manpages in its output. That way people can click on manpages to get the full documentation. There are a few services offering this online, so we do not explicitly enable one by default, but the Debian manpages repository has a lot of the manpages pre-rendered, so it is used as an example in the documentation. The parsing work is done by a transformer class that parses manpage objects and extract name/section elements. Those then can be used by writers to cross-reference to actual sites. An implementation is done in the two HTML writers, but could also apply to ePUB/PDF writers as well in the future. This is not enabled by default: the `manpages_url` configuration item needs to be enabled to point to the chosen site. The `page`, `section` and `path` parameters are expanded through Python string formatting in the URL on output. Unit tests are fairly limited, but should cover most common use-cases. |

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.python.org/pypi/Sphinx __ CONTRIBUTING.rst Documentation ============= Documentation is available from `sphinx-doc.org`__. __ http://www.sphinx-doc.org/ 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).
