I have a working directory containing my project and it is in a version control system. I'd like to create a doc
directory inside my project that contains only restructured text files for sphinx
.
That is, I don't want sphinx
to build html files inside my project, but put them outside so they don't get put into version control.
So if you question is 'How can I build documentation outside of the source tree', the documentation helps:
sphinx-build -b html sourcedir builddir
Just point builddir to a location outside of your source tree.
Or, depending on your version control system, add the directory you generate your documentation to an 'ignore file' (e.g. .gitignore
, .hgignore
, ...)
