Dear all,

first of all I want to thank the Sphinx developers for this great
tool. I
ported the developers manual for our openWNS (open Wireless Network
Simulator)
to Sphinx. I am still surprised how easy and intuitively the work with
Sphinx is.
So, thanks for that!

During the work on the documentation I often wanted to place ToDos
within the text to keep track of
things that still need to be documented. I think it would be
benefitial to have
a special kind of admonition (.. todo::) to place inline in the text
for this task.
Furthermore, I want these admonitions to show only if a certain flag
is set in the
configuration, such that a released version of the documentation does
not show any
todo content. In addition to that I want a separate page that collects
all todo
admonitions and provides an overview of all pending todos within the
document.

I did not find any support for this within the current release of
Sphinx, so I started
developing a todo extension of my own. I implemented two directives:
todo & todolist
that should take care of the task. The basic functionality works now,
but I still face
some problems. You can take a look at what I have done so far here:

An example of how I use this example can be seen here:

The problems I have now are:

1. I only want to include the todolist page in the TOC if the
configuration flag is set.
   The todolist page is now always included, although it is empty if
the configuration file
   is not set. I want it to completely vanish.

2. With this implementation all todo admonitions show up in the final
document as
   '''Note: The todo description''' I want them to show up as '''Todo:
The todo description'''

3. In the todolist I only copy the original todo. It would be nice to
include additional
   information there, such as a link to the original todo location and
the original location within the
   source (filename, linenumber, etc.)

I am a little bit stuck here and wonder if someone could help. I
already tried the sphinx.ext.ifconfig
to exclude the todolist from the TOC, but this does not work. I think
Sphinx does not expect
any directive within the TOC.

Any ideas?

Best Regards,
  Daniel
