sphinxcontrib.issuetracker – Reference issues in issue trackers

A Sphinx extension to reference issues in an issue tracker.

The extension is available under the terms of the BSD license, see License for more information.

Installation

Use pip to install this extension straight from the Python Package Index:

pip install sphinxcontrib-issuetracker

This extension requires Sphinx 1.1 and Python 2.6 or Python 3.1.

Note

Some builtin issue trackers do not support Python 3 currently. Refer to issuetracker for more information.

Usage

Add this extension to extensions and configure the issue tracker to use and the project in your conf.py:

extensions = ['sphinxcontrib.issuetracker']

issuetracker = 'github'
issuetracker_project = 'lunaryorn/sphinxcontrib-issuetracker'

Now issue references like #10 are replaced with links to the issue tracker of this extension, unless the reference occurs in literal text like inline literals or code blocks.

You can disable this magic behaviour by setting issuetracker_plaintext_issues to False:

issuetracker_plaintext_issues = False

Now textual references are no longer replaced. However, you can still explicitly reference issues with the issue role.

For more details refer to the Usage and operation and Configuration chapters. If this extension does not yet support the issue tracker you’re using, read the Customization chapter and implement support for your tracker.
