Sphinx
------
According to |the sphinx Git page|, Sphinx is a tool that makes it easy
to create intelligent and beautiful documentation for Python projects
(or other documents consisting of multiple |reStructuredText| sources).
It was originally created for the new Python documentation, but it
supports other languages.
Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its strengths
come from the power and straightforwardness of reStructuredText and its parsing
and translating suite, the Docutils.
Among its features are the following:
* Output formats: HTML (including derivative formats such as HTML Help, Epub
and Qt Help), plain text, manual pages and LaTeX or direct PDF output
using rst2pdf
* Extensive cross-references: semantic markup and automatic links
for functions, classes, glossary terms and similar pieces of information
* Hierarchical structure: easy definition of a document tree, with automatic
links to siblings, parents and children
* Automatic indices: general index as well as a module index
* Code handling: automatic highlighting using the Pygments highlighter
* Flexible HTML output using the Jinja 2 templating engine
* Various extensions are available, e.g. for automatic testing of snippets
and inclusion of appropriately formatted docstrings
* Setuptools integration
