sphinx-codeautolink

sphinx-codeautolink makes code examples clickable by inserting links from individual code elements to the corresponding reference documentation. We aim for a minimal setup assuming your examples are already valid Python.

For a live demo, see our online documentation on Read The Docs.

Installation

sphinx-codeautolink can be installed from the following sources:

$ pip install sphinx-codeautolink
$ conda install -c conda-forge sphinx-codeautolink

Note that the library is in early development, so version pinning is advised. To enable sphinx-codeautolink, modify the extension list in conf.py. Note that the extension name uses an underscore rather than a hyphen.

extensions = [
    ...,
    "sphinx_codeautolink",
]

That's it! Now your code examples are linked. For ways of concatenating examples, setting default import statements, or customising link style among other things, see the online documentation.
