Sphinx plugin for Trac 0.11
Project description
First draft for sphinx like easy to use plugin. It implements basic tasks to manage Sphinx documentation in Trac.
1. Plugin install
Download the plugin sources, unzip the archive and type the easy_install command from the plugin folder:
$ easy_install setup.py install
Restart the Trac project(s). As administator we can now activate the plugin.
By default the documentation source folder is ‘./docs/source’ of the project repository. But in most of cases we will override this path in the [sphinx] section of the project ‘trac.ini’ file:
[sphinx] source_dir = /<the_doc_source_path>
This source folder is used by the project to build the sphinx documentation using the web builder of Sphinx. If the documentation can not be generated from Trac we can specify the generated documentation path with the following option:
[sphinx] doc_dir = /<the_doc_dir_path>
We also can set the navbar title with the following option:
[sphinx] navbar_title = My documentation
2. Documentation update
Simple params into the project url to update the documentation from the source folder of the project to the Trac project folder ‘./sphinx-docs’. Just type the following url for update:
http://<trac_url>/<project_url>?action=refresh
In some cases the documentation can not be generated like in the identified following case:
automodule can not import part of the project
When we use the automodule, autoclass.. directives some projects can not import must requirements or config. Then Sphinx will not generate the project documentation and return the following error:
list out of rangeProjects like TurboGears application are concerned. We are currently working on this issue and hope to purpose a solution soon.
