What it supplies: The README presents Sphinx as a documentation generator built on reStructuredText. Useful for: - Write manuals and docs and build them as HTML, PDF or EPUB. - Extend builds with extensions for API docs or notebooks. First action: - Run pip install -U sphinx. - Follow the Sphinx documentation to create a project. Prerequisites and limits: The README says you need a working installation of Python and pip. - PDF output depends on a TeX toolchain described in the documentation. - The README does not walk through project setup. Source-documented: a badge names BSD 2-Clause. Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run. Based on intro, features, installation and licence badge README text only; other sections were not read. Nothing was installed or run.
