I found that you need to list the project in the "intersphinx_mapping" section of conf.py, eg: intersphinx_mapping = { 'pymongo': ('http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/', None), 'python' : ('http://docs.python.org/', None), 'django': ('https://django.readthedocs.org/en/latest/', None), 'djangomongodbengine': ('http://django-mongodb.org/', None), 'djangotoolbox' : ('http://djangotoolbox.readthedocs.org/en/latest/', None), } where the label (eg, pymongo, python, djangotoolbox) is what you write in your documentation, eg:
:py:meth:`db.events.ensure_index() <*pymongo* :pymongo.collection.Collection.ensure_index>` So you could add something like: intersphinx_mapping = { 'api' : ('http://api.example.com', None) } to your conf.py and use "api" in your refs. You need to use a link target which is defined in the target's objects.inv file (sphinx will try to load http://api.example.com/objects.inv unless you specify a file in the intersphinx_mapping). -- -ed costello -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-dev" group.
