Hi,

I would like to create a custom autodoc-like extension, that would parse 
directive like:

.. operation:: name(args)

    Some documentation here...


With output similar to a function documentation generated by ".. 
autofunction". The output is going to be a signature, the documentation 
from the directive and multiple other documentation chunks that are 
extracted from __doc__ strings from other objects. The objects will be 
fetched from some other catalogue object based on the signature. There 
might be none, one, two or more objects per operation.

Example:

INPUT 1: doc.rst

.. operation:: duplicates

INPUT 2: - some.py with list of operation objects for key "duplicates", for 
this we have two objects with names "rows" and "sql"

OUTPUT:

duplicates(obj)

    Finds duplicate records in the object.

Signatures:

    rows
        returns an iterator object yielding duplicate records. Consumes the 
source.
    sql
        composes another SQL statement

END OF OUTPUT

The `Signatures` part is generated list where content of each item might 
contain a documentation from __doc__ attribute of given objects in RST 
format.

I assume there will be nodes:

BASIC_SIGNATURE
DIRECTIVE_DOC
CUSTOM_LABEL
LABEL_SIG_1
DOC_SIG_1
LABEL_SIG_2
DOC_SIG_2
...

How can I do this? I know how to create an OperationDirective(Directive) 
object that emits some nodes in run(). However I do not know how to:

* parse and append content of the directive
* parse and append any other content
* create an index reference
* create a list of operations that will link to the operation documentation

I've tried to follow the tutorial on the sphinx documentation, but it was 
not sufficient for me.

Where I can find more information?

Cheers,

Stefan
