Sphinx Integration
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Stevedore includes an extension for integrating with Sphinx to
|
|
automatically produce documentation about the supported plugins. To
|
|
activate the plugin add ``stevedore.sphinxext`` to the list of
|
|
extensions in your ``conf.py``.
|
|
|
|
.. rst:directive:: .. list-plugins:: namespace
|
|
|
|
List the plugins in a namespace.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
|
|
``detailed``
|
|
Flag to switch between simple and detailed output (see
|
|
below).
|
|
``overline-style``
|
|
Character to use to draw line above header,
|
|
defaults to none.
|
|
``underline-style``
|
|
Character to use to draw line below header,
|
|
defaults to ``=``.
|
|
|
|
Simple List
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
By default, the ``list-plugins`` directive produces a simple list of
|
|
plugins in a given namespace including the name and the first line of
|
|
the docstring. For example:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
.. list-plugins:: stevedore.example.formatter
|
|
|
|
produces
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
.. list-plugins:: stevedore.example.formatter
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Detailed Lists
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Adding the ``detailed`` flag to the directive causes the output to
|
|
include a separate subsection for each plugin, with the full docstring
|
|
rendered. The section heading level can be controlled using the
|
|
``underline-style`` and ``overline-style`` options to fit the results
|
|
into the structure of your existing document.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
.. list-plugins:: stevedore.example.formatter
|
|
:detailed:
|
|
|
|
produces
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
.. list-plugins:: stevedore.example.formatter
|
|
:detailed:
|
|
:underline-style: -
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Depending on how Sphinx is configured, bad reStructuredText syntax in
|
|
the docstrings of the plugins may cause the documentation build to
|
|
fail completely when detailed mode is enabled.
