I've been thinking of trying to make use of sphinx-build -D release="release string" in order to set the value of the "release" conf.py variable at the command line, and I cannot seem to do it. Let me be a bit more specific:
I'd like to set the value for 'release' on the command line, and then /within conf.py/ make conditional configuration processing based on its value: if "string" in release.split(): set value A for config var else: set value B for config var However, I can't seem to get the -D option to "override" any of the string configuration variables in conf.py that I can see. Can someone assist me with working examples for how they've successfully used -D to override a conf.py setting, especially a setting taking a string value? How (for example) do I pass a string with spaces in it into sphinx-build? I have been trying -D release='release string', but that doesn't seem to work at all. Any help would be appreciated. -- Viktor Haag -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-dev" group.
