SPHINX-VHDL

A sphinx domain for semi-automatically documenting VHDL

This extension for Sphinx allows you to keep your documentation in code and automatically draw it out into your main documentation using just few simple directives.

You can see the detailed documentation at https://cesnet.github.io/sphinx-vhdl/, or build it yourself (running make while in the doc directory and having sphinx + sphinx_rtd_theme installed should be sufficient)

Usage

The python package must be installed with

pip3 install sphinx-vhdl

This extension requires Python >= 3.8 and Sphinx >= 6.0.0.

Note that your documentation may use multiple sphinx extensions or an alternative theme (such as sphinx_rtd_theme), which you must also have installed.

Configuration

In your sphinx conf.py file add

extensions = ['sphinxvhdl.vhdl']
vhdl_autodoc_source_path = 'path/to/your/vhdl/sources/root'
