Automatic toctree update

Question

I'm not sure if this is possible. But I'm hoping to put multiple .rst files in a directory, and during compilation. I want these files to automatically be inserted in the toctree. How can I go about this?

Answer 1

You can use the glob option which enables wildcards. Like this:

.. toctree::
   :glob:

   *

This adds all other *.rst files in the same directory to the toctree.
