News from the Sphinx front

written by Georg, on Thursday, July 31, 2008 16:30.

Now that I have to revise for my Physics exams, I finally have something else to put off, so I can write blog posts again. Yay!

There are some news about Sphinx:

Christopher Perkins has posted a cool screencast at ShowMeDo showing off Sphinx and the doctest extension.
Version 0.4.2 was released only a week ago, containing some bugfixes, and 0.4.3 is already in the making.
The trunk has exciting new features too: Support for math (trivial for LaTeX output, and two alternatives for HTML -- JavaScript-based or PNG-image-based).
Also there's Intersphinx, a new extension for linking between Sphinx docs for different projects.

More stuff is on the to-do list for 0.5: more versatile inclusion of code snippets, internationalization, file download support, and more. Stay tuned!

Comments

I just want to say thank to you (and all the others contributors) for all the energies you've put on Sphinx, the python ecosystem really needed an outstanding documentation tool [1] and Sphinx is *the* tool.

I've seen that more and more projects are adopting Sphinx, this makes things more familiar for documentation readers and writers and it's a win win situation.

Thanks again and keep up the *really* great work.
