Description of generic reST markup.

Method add_target_and_index Add cross-reference IDs and entries to self.indexnode, if applicable.
Method get_index_text Undocumented
Method make_old_id Generate old styled node_id for reST markups.
Class Variable option_spec Undocumented
Method _object_hierarchy_parts Returns a tuple of strings, one entry for each part of the object's hierarchy (e.g. ``('module', 'submodule', 'Class', 'method')``). The returned tuple is used to properly nest children within parents in the table of contents, and can also be used within the :py:meth:`_toc_entry_name` method.
Method _toc_entry_name Returns the text of the table of contents entry for the object.

Inherited from ObjectDescription:

Method after_content Called after parsing content. Used to reset information about the current directive context on the build environment.
Method before_content Called before parsing content. Used to set information about the current directive context on the build environment.
Method get_field_type_map Undocumented
Method get_signatures Retrieve the signatures to document from the directive arguments. By default, signatures are given as arguments, one per line.
Method handle_signature Parse the signature *sig* into individual nodes and append them to *signode*. If ValueError is raised, parsing is aborted and the whole *sig* is put into a single desc_name node.
Method run Main directive entry function, called by docutils upon encountering the directive.
Method transform_content Called after creating the content through nested parsing, but before the ``object-description-transform`` event is emitted, and before the info-fields are transformed. Can be used to manipulate the content.

Inherited from SphinxDirective (via ObjectDescription):

Method get_location Get current location info for logging.
Method get_source_info Get source and line number.
Method set_source_info Set source and line number to the node.
Property config Reference to the :class:`.Config` object.
Property env Reference to the :class:`.BuildEnvironment` object.
def add_target_and_index(self, name, sig, signode): (source)

Add cross-reference IDs and entries to self.indexnode, if applicable. *name* is whatever :meth:`handle_signature()` returned.

Parameters
name:strUndocumented
sig:strUndocumented
signode:desc_signatureUndocumented
def get_index_text(self, objectname, name): (source)

Undocumented

Parameters
objectname:strUndocumented
name:strUndocumented
Returns
strUndocumented
def make_old_id(self, name): (source)

Generate old styled node_id for reST markups. .. note:: Old Styled node_id was used until Sphinx-3.0. This will be removed in Sphinx-5.0.

Parameters
name:strUndocumented
Returns
strUndocumented
def _object_hierarchy_parts(self, sig_node): (source)

Returns a tuple of strings, one entry for each part of the object's hierarchy (e.g. ``('module', 'submodule', 'Class', 'method')``). The returned tuple is used to properly nest children within parents in the table of contents, and can also be used within the :py:meth:`_toc_entry_name` method. This method must not be used outwith table of contents generation.

Parameters
sig_node:desc_signatureUndocumented
Returns
tuple[str, ...]Undocumented
def _toc_entry_name(self, sig_node): (source)

Returns the text of the table of contents entry for the object. This function is called once, in :py:meth:`run`, to set the name for the table of contents entry (a special attribute ``_toc_name`` is set on the object node, later used in ``environment.collectors.toctree.TocTreeCollector.process_doc().build_toc()`` when the table of contents entries are collected). To support table of contents entries for their objects, domains must override this method, also respecting the configuration setting ``toc_object_entries_show_parents``. Domains must also override :py:meth:`_object_hierarchy_parts`, with one (string) entry for each part of the object's hierarchy. The result of this method is set on the signature node, and can be accessed as ``sig_node['_toc_parts']`` for use within this method. The resulting tuple is also used to properly nest children within parents in the table of contents. An example implementations of this method is within the python domain (:meth:`PyObject._toc_entry_name`). The python domain sets the ``_toc_parts`` attribute within the :py:meth:`handle_signature()` method.

Parameters
sig_node:desc_signatureUndocumented
Returns
strUndocumented
