sphinxcontrib-django2 1.0.1

Improve the Sphinx autodoc for Django classes.

sphinxcontrib-django2

This is a sphinx extension which improves the documentation of Django apps.

Features

Improvements for the output of Sphinx’s autodoc for Django classes:

• List all model and form fields as class parameters

• Improve model field representations

• Link related and reverse related fields to the referenced class

• Hide irrelevant runtime information like declared_fieldsets, fieldsets and Meta from classes

• Add information about autogenerated methods

• Fix intersphinx mappings to Django modules

• Custom text roles to cross-reference the documentations of Django (:setting:, :templatetag:, :templatefilter:, :fieldlookup:) and Sphinx (:event:, :confval:)

This is a fork of sphinxcontrib-django, which seems to be no longer maintained.
