Hello,
I'm trying to create a custom Sphinx directive that can be
cross-referenced. For instance, I'd like to make an "exercise" directive
that gives an example problem for the reader to solve, and which can be
cross-referenced later ("see exercise 1.3").
The ordinary label syntax (.. _label:) doesn't work on custom directives. I
could make a new domain and create an "exercise" object, but objects in
domains don't appear to be customizable. For instance, I couldn't make my
exercise directive display as an admonition or give it any custom features
-- it would display like any other Python method or object. The
add_object_type method lets me customize the node type of the role which
allows cross-referencing of the object, but does not let me customize the
node type of the object itself.
Arbitrary cross-referenceable directives would be incredibly useful; one
could, for instance, create a mathematics textbook entirely in Sphinx, with
theorems and exercises referenced and indexed.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.
