Well, it does the thing it was designed to do. It's just that maybe that design wasn't communicated effectively when the features were described to end-users. 'ifconfig' and 'only' don't exclude/include stuff entirely as one might expect: that is certainly the case. 8) > The only directive doesn't take an expression which is what I need. > Only takes simple boolean expressions with tags passed with -t to the build process. You can use at least AND and OR. I'm not sure if you can use NOT (I haven't tried, and the docs don't say). If you need more complex expressions than that, agree, 'only' won't work for you. -- Viktor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-dev" group.
