Thanks, that helps. I really don't know anything about Python - my background is with languages like Fortran and Pascal.
How do I pass an argument to conf.py? If I were doing this in Pascal I'd declare it as a global variable and initialise it explicitly at an appropriate point. Python doesn't seem to work like that. From what I can tell, I need to use something like: ifconf_product = sys.argv[1] in the conf.py. But how do I call conf.py with an argument? -----Original Message----- From: sphinx-dev@googlegroups.com [mailto:sphinx-dev@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ernesto Posse Sent: 02 December 2011 22:29 To: sphinx-dev@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [sphinx-dev] Using if statements in conf.py On Fri, Dec 2, 2011 at 11:27 AM, Alastair Dent <alastair.d...@imgtec.com> wrote: > Can I do something like the following in conf.py: You can but you'll have to use Python syntax (conf.py is a Python module), so instead of > if ifconf_product='mini' then > > exclude_patterns = ['interface/*.rst','dialogs/*.rst'] > > elseif ifconf_product='main' then > > exclude_patterns = ['mini-indexes.rst] > > > > endif it should be something like if ifconf_product=='mini': exclude_patterns = ['interface/*.rst','dialogs/*.rst'] elif ifconf_product=='main': exclude_patterns = ['mini-indexes.rst] -- Ernesto Posse Modelling and Analysis in Software Engineering School of Computing Queen's University - Kingston, Ontario, Canada -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-dev" group.
