The Sphinx build system
=======================
.. XXX: intro...
.. _doc-build-config:
The build configuration file
----------------------------
The documentation root, that is the ``Doc`` subdirectory of the source
distribution, contains a file named ``conf.py``. This file is called the "build
configuration file", and it contains several variables that are read and used
during a build run.
These variables are:
version : string
A string that is used as a replacement for the ``|version|`` reST
substitution. It should be the Python version the documentation refers to.
This consists only of the major and minor version parts, e.g. ``2.5``, even
for version 2.5.1.
release : string
A string that is used as a replacement for the ``|release|`` reST
substitution. It should be the full version string including
alpha/beta/release candidate tags, e.g. ``2.5.2b3``.
Both ``release`` and ``version`` can be ``'auto'``, which means that they are
determined at runtime from the ``Include/patchlevel.h`` file, if a complete
Python source distribution can be found, or else from the interpreter running
Sphinx.
today_fmt : string
A ``strftime`` format that is used to format a replacement for the
``|today|`` reST substitution.
today : string
A string that can contain a date that should be written to the documentation
output literally. If this is nonzero, it is used instead of
``strftime(today_fmt)``.
unused_files : list of strings
A list of reST filenames that are to be disregarded during building. This
could be docs for temporarily disabled modules or documentation that's not
yet ready for public consumption.
add_function_parentheses : bool
If true, ``()`` will be appended to the content of ``:func:``, ``:meth:`` and
``:cfunc:`` cross-references.
add_module_names : bool
If true, the current module name will be prepended to all description unit
titles (such as ``.. function::``).
Builder-specific variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
html_download_base_url : string
The base URL for download links on the download page.
html_last_updated_fmt : string
If this is not an empty string, it will be given to ``time.strftime()`` and
written to each generated output file after "last updated on:".
html_use_smartypants : bool
If true, use SmartyPants to convert quotes and dashes to the typographically
correct entities.
latex_paper_size : "letter" or "a4"
The paper size option for the LaTeX document class.
latex_font_size : "10pt", "11pt" or "12pt"
The font size option for the LaTeX document class.
