Sphinx extension to support docstrings in Numpy format
Project description
numpydoc – Numpy’s Sphinx extensions
Numpy’s documentation uses several custom extensions to Sphinx. These are shipped in this numpydoc package, in case you want to make use of them in third-party projects.
The following extensions are available:
numpydoc: support for the Numpy docstring format in Sphinx, and add the code description directives np:function, np-c:function, etc. that support the Numpy docstring syntax.
numpydoc.traitsdoc: For gathering documentation about Traits attributes.
numpydoc.plot_directive: Adaptation of Matplotlib’s plot:: directive. Note that this implementation may still undergo severe changes or eventually be deprecated.
See A Guide to NumPy/SciPy Documentation for how to write docs that use this extension.
numpydoc
Numpydoc inserts a hook into Sphinx’s autodoc that converts docstrings following the Numpy/Scipy format to a form palatable to Sphinx.
Options
The following options can be set in conf.py:
numpydoc_use_plots: bool
Whether to produce plot:: directives for Examples sections that contain import matplotlib.
numpydoc_show_class_members: bool
Whether to show all members of a class in the Methods and Attributes sections automatically. True by default.
numpydoc_show_inherited_class_members: bool
Whether to show all inherited members of a class in the Methods and Attributes sections automatically. If it’s false, inherited members won’t shown. True by default.
numpydoc_class_members_toctree: bool
Whether to create a Sphinx table of contents for the lists of class methods and attributes. If a table of contents is made, Sphinx expects each entry to have a separate page. True by default.
numpydoc_edit_link: bool (DEPRECATED – edit your HTML template instead)
Whether to insert an edit link after docstrings.
