Configuration

The following four configuration variables are defined by sphinxcontrib.restbuilder:

rst_link_suffix

Suffix for generated links to reST files. The default is whatever rst_file_suffix is set to.

rst_file_transform

Function to translate a docname to a filename. By default, returns docname + rst_file_suffix.

rst_link_transform

Function to translate a docname to a (partial) URI. By default, returns docname + rst_link_suffix.

rst_preserve_code_block_flags

Preserve (some) .. code-block:: flags if True. Default is False.
