|
|
|
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. |
