sphinx-issues 0.4.0

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 both issues and 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.

# docs/conf.py

#...
extensions = [
    #...
    'sphinx_issues',
]

# Github repo
issues_github_path = 'sloria/marshmallow'

# equivalent to
issues_uri = 'https://github.com/sloria/marshmallow/issues/{issue}'

Usage

Use the :issue: role in your docs like so:

See issue :issue:`42`

See issues :issue:`12,13`

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>`.

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.
