sphinx-relabel 0.0.4

Redirect labels that have been renamed or removed.

reLabel is a tool for redirecting labels in your Sphinx documentation.

In documentation, we go to great lengths to redirect pages as they're moved, but we don't show the same care with Sphinx labels. If external documentation links to your project with Intersphinx, then removing labels will break references to them.

With reLabel, you can redirect removed labels to any existing label in your docs, preventing any surprise Intersphinx breakages.

Usage

Map removed labels to existing labels with the label_redirects option in your conf.py file:

label_redirects = {
    "old-label": "new-label"
}

Alternatively, list the label redirects in a separate file, formatted as valid JSON:

label_redirects = "labels.json"

Project setup

reLabel is published on PyPI and can be installed with:

pip install sphinx-relabel

After adding reLabel to your Python project, update your Sphinx's conf.py file to include reLabel as one of its extensions:

extensions = [
    "sphinx_relabel"
]
