sphinx-issues 1.2.0

A Sphinx extension for linking to your project's issue tracker

A Sphinx extension for linking to your project’s issue tracker. Includes roles for linking to issues, pull requests, user profiles, with built-in support for GitHub (though this works with other services).

Example

For an example usage, check out marshmallow’s changelog, which makes use of the roles in this library.

Installation and Configuration

pip install sphinx-issues

Add sphinx_issues to extensions in your conf.py. If your project is on GitHub, add the issues_github_path config variable. Otherwise, use issues_uri and issues_pr_uri.

# docs/conf.py

# ...
extensions = [
    # ...
    "sphinx_issues"
]

# Github repo
issues_github_path = "sloria/marshmallow"

# equivalent to
issues_uri = "https://github.com/sloria/marshmallow/issues/{issue}"
issues_pr_uri = "https://github.com/sloria/marshmallow/pull/{pr}"
issues_commit_uri = "https://github.com/sloria/marshmallow/commit/{commit}"

Usage

Use the :issue: and :pr: roles in your docs like so:

See issue :issue:`42`

See issues :issue:`12,13`

See :issue:`sloria/konch#45`.

See PR :pr:`58`

Use the :user: role in your docs to link to user profiles (Github by default, but can be configured via the issues_user_uri config variable).

Thanks to :user:`bitprophet` for the idea!

You can also use explicit names if you want to use a different name than the github user name:

This change is due to :user:`Andreas Mueller <amueller>`.

Use the :commit: role to link to commits.

Fixed in :commit:`6bb9124d5e9dbb2f7b52864c3d8af7feb1b69403`.

Use the :cve: role to link to CVEs on https://cve.mitre.org.

Credits

Credit goes to Jeff Forcier for his work on the releases extension, which is a full-featured solution for generating changelogs. I just needed a quick way to reference Github issues in my docs, so I yoinked the bits that I needed.
