You can use the testdoc tool also as plugin integration.
You have two option to use it this way:

1. You can write your own HTML page as jinja2 template, add this HTML template as CLI argument while generating the docs and you will get your own HTML style as documentation page.
2. You can use the mkdocs integration to define your own mkdcs template as CLI argument and the testdoc tool will internally take care of the mkdocs page generation.

For further details about the usage, please read the official documentation.

External Configuration File

The idea of the external configuration file is, having a central place for passing the known CMD arguments via file instead of CMD parameters.
This will keep your CMD line call simple & clean.

For using this config file, just call the following command:

# Generate docu with options defined in TOML file
testdoc -c path/to/config.toml tests/ TestDocumentation.html

pyproject.toml vs. custom toml file

Using the pyproject requires to define the testdoc sections with the prefix tool.
Example section start: [tool.testdoc]

Using your own custom toml-file, does not require you to use the prefix. Here, you can just use [testdoc] as section header.

Example Configuration File

[tool.testdoc]
title = "New title of HTML document"
name = "New name of root suite element"
doc = "New doc text of root suite element"
sourceprefix = "gitlab::https://gitlab.com/myrepo/repo_path"
include = ["TagA", "TagB"]
exclude = ["TagC"]
verbose_mode = false

[tool.testdoc.metadata]
Author = "Your-Name"
Version = "1.0.0"
Source = "AnySourceAsMetaData"
