sphinx-localecmddoc 0.5.0

Sphinx extension for autodocumenting localecmd modules

sphinx-localecmddoc

Sphinx extension for autodocumenting localecmd modules The extension is hard-coded to generate markdown to be parsed with the myst-parser.

Install

The commands assume that your virtual environment is activated in the terminal. The installation will also install the needed dependencies if not present:

• Sphinx
• Myst-parser
• Localecmd (which is needed for what to document)

Install from pypi

To install the package and its dependencies, run

pip install sphinx-localecmddoc

Remember to add the dependency to the pyproject.toml (or equvalent)

Install from git (not recommended, but only option)

To install the package and its dependencies, run

pip install sphinx-localecmddoc @ git+https://codeberg.org/jbox/sphinx-localecmddoc.git@main

Quickstart

The following assumes that you already have set up sphinx with myst-parser.

Within the conf.py, add the extension to the extension list:

extensions = [
...
    'localecmddoc',
...
]

Localecmddoc does not search for localecmd.Modules. Instead they must be given explicitly to the configuration. A basic start is simply using the module with functions provided by localecmd.

localecmd_modules = {
    'localecmd.builtins': 'localecmd-builtins',
    }

Add its index file to a toctree (example in restructured text)

.. toctree
   ...
   functions/index.md
   ... (other files)

When running sphinx, a folder functions will be created containing the documentation of every module. The file localecmd-builtins.md will contain the documentation of the localecmd.builtins module.
