Hello Sphinx is probably one of the most powerful documentation system, with dozens of abilities to reference python stuff, internet links and such but seems pretty obsessive in its refusal to let us link to local content that is not under its "conf.py" directory.
Is there any plan to support some syntax like this 'local:my_other_package_in_the_python_path/any/path/relative/to/the/mentioned/package/root' It would be beautiful if this worked with *include *as well as* :ref:* so that we could keep documentation in one relevant single point and reference it from other narratives documentations or more global documentation. The one and one package roof/root only for doc becomes a real pain now that very little applications are built with only one python package or only one whatever is documented. Right now the solutions are ugly and dangerous from copying (EVIL), intersphinx-ing with hard coded path to the final delivery point of the documentation (EVIL), symlinking (non portable, brittle, outside tooling through scripts), copying before building the doc (idem). Is there a "philosophical" opposition to a solution or is this something planned I missed ? Thanks a lot for this great tool. .X. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-users" group.
