sphinx-version-ref 0.1.0

Sphinx extension to substitute version in references.

This extension adds a single role to Sphinx. With :version-ref:`<ref>` one can substitute the version given in conf.py into <ref>.

Usage

In your conf.py file:

release = '1.4.1a5'
version = '.'.join(release.split('.')[:2])
extensions = ['sphinx_version_ref']

Where version can of course be any string. The following uses of <ref> then will be parsed as:

Entered as <ref>	Parsed as
https://docs.com/{version}/index.html	`https://docs.com/1.4/index.html`_
{version} <http://github.com/user/project/tree/{version}>	`1.4 <http://github.com/user/project/tree/1.4>`_
See version {version} <http://github.com/user/project/tree/{release}>	`See version 1.4 <http://github.com/user/project/tree/1.4.1a5>`_
