NAME

dh_sphinxdoc - helps with packaging Sphinx-generated documentation

SYNOPSIS

dh_sphinxdoc [ debhelper options] [-Xitem] [directory...]

DESCRIPTION

dh_sphinxdoc is a debhelper program that prepares Sphinx-generated documentation for inclusion in a Debian package. More specifically:
It checks if all the files referenced by searchindex.js exist.
It replaces known *.js files with symlinks to /usr/share/javascript/sphinxdoc/ and generates ${sphinxdoc:Depends} substitution variable.
If the Sphinx RTD theme is used, it replaces known files from this theme with symlinks to /usr/share/sphinx_rtd_theme/, and adds sphinx-rtd-theme-common to ${sphinxdoc:Depends}.
It provides a ${sphinxdoc:Built-Using} substitution variable, for tracking files which could not be symlinked. Examples of such files are *.js and *.css files that are generated from corresponding *.js_t and *.css_t templates, and can vary depending on the used theme options (for instance, basic.css file is generated from basic.css_t and is included in almost every Sphinx-generated documentation). Currently, this variable will contain sphinx and, if the default theme is used, alabaster, with their versions (other themes are not supported).
It removes the .doctrees directory.
It removes the .buildinfo file.
It removes the websupport.js file.

OPTIONS

directory
By default, dh_sphinxdoc scans your package looking for directories looking like they contain Sphinx-generated documentation. However, if you explicitly provide one or more directories, only they will be processed. If documentation is not found at directory, an error is raised.
-Xitem, --exclude=item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being symlinked, removed or checked for existence.

BUGS

Symlinking translations.js and non-English searchtools.js is not supported.
