  You can also enable or disable the automatic intersphinx configuration of packages manually:

  scrapy_intersphinx_enable = [
      "parsel",
      "w3lib",
  ]

      "scrapy",
  ]

• Automatic configuration of Sphinx roles of the Scrapy documentation, so that you can easily link to Scrapy settings, request metadata keys, signals and commands:

  :setting:`BOT_NAME`
  :setting:`LOG_LEVEL <scrapy:LOG_LEVEL>`
  :reqmeta:`download_slot`
  :signal:`spider_opened`
  :command:`crawl`
