Introduction

Documenting is very convenient for sphinx. However, sphinx-quickstart basically only needs a return, I was wondering if I could do something a little more. The more you use sphinx, the more you feel this hassle. I made something called sphinx-express.

Soliloquy: It's a brute force. It's a script that is neither cool nor beautiful. Well, it's like studying the click module, It works as expected.

Dependent module

I am using click and PyYAML. Also, sphinx expects version 1.7 or later.

$ python -m pip install click PyYAML

How to use

The first time it is executed with the --setup option.

$ sphinx-express.py --setup

You should install follows packages.
python -m pip install sphinx-rtd-theme sphinx-charts pallets_sphinx_themes sphinxcontrib-runcmd sphinxcontrib-napoleon

your configfile: /Users/goichiiisaka/.sphinx/quickstartrc
your templatedir: /Users/goichiiisaka/.sphinx/templates/quickstart
quickstart templates of sphinx into your templatedir.

Now under $ HOME / .sphinx It will copy the template files that quickstartrc and sphinx have.

$ tree  ~/.sphinx/
/Users/goichiiisaka/.sphinx/
├── quickstartrc
└── templates
    └── quickstart
        ├── Makefile.new_t
        ├── Makefile_t
        ├── conf.py_t
        ├── make.bat.new_t
        ├── make.bat_t
        └── master_doc.rst_t

2 directories, 7 files

By default, ~ / .sphinx / quickstartrc does the following:


sep: true
language: ja
suffix: .rst
master: index
makefile: true
batchfile: true
autodoc: true
doctest: false
intersphinx: false
todo: false
coverage: false
imgmath: true
mathjax: true
ifconfig: true
viewcode: true
project: sample
version: 0.0.1
release: 0.0.1
lang: ja
make_mode: true
ext_mathjax: true
extensions:
- pallets_sphinx_themes
- sphinx_rtd_theme
- sphinx.ext.autodoc
- sphinx.ext.mathjax
- sphinx.ext.autosectionlabel
- sphinxcontrib.blockdiag
- sphinxcontrib.seqdiag
- sphinxcontrib.blockdiag
- sphinxcontrib.nwdiag
- sphinxcontrib.rackdiag
- sphinxcontrib.httpdomain
- sphinxcontrib.runcmd
- recommonmark
mastertocmaxdepth: 2
project_underline: ======

After that, if you modify this file, shpinx-express.py will load it for you A single command will set up the sphinx project directory.

$ sphinx-express.py sample
Welcome to the Sphinx 3.2.1 quickstart utility.

Please enter values for the following settings (just press Enter to
accept a default value, if one is given in brackets).

Selected root path: sample

Creating file /Users/goichiiisaka/docs/sample/source/conf.py.
Creating file /Users/goichiiisaka/docs/sample/source/index.rst.
Creating file /Users/goichiiisaka/docs/sample/Makefile.
Creating file /Users/goichiiisaka/docs/sample/make.bat.

Finished: An initial directory structure has been created.

You should now populate your master file /Users/goichiiisaka/docs/sample/source/index.rst and create other documentation
source files. Use the Makefile to build the docs, like so:
   make builder
where "builder" is one of the supported builders, e.g. html, latex or linkcheck.

I try to create a sphinx project directory if it doesn't exist. The project defaults to the project directory. author is the login username obtained by os.getlogin () by default.

$ python sphinx-express.py --help
()

  -d, --define_value TEXT  define a template variable. NAME=VALUE
  -c, --configfile PATH   sphinx-express configfile. default:
                          /Users/goichiiisaka/.sphinx/quickstartrc

  -N, --new               Ignore least configures.
  --setup                 Copy quickstart templates and exit.
  --version               Show the version and exit.
  --help                  Show this message and exit.

template

~ / .sphinx / templates / quickstart / conf.py_t is In addition to copying, the following simple corrections are made.

Tips

I may not use it much, If you define variables in ~ /, sphinx / quickstartrc, You can set the value to the variable of jinja2 used in the template file.

variables:
- NAME=VALUE

TODO I want to make a package. No, I should do it ...

sphinx-quickstart got messy and I tried to create an alternative command and the stress disappeared
