Sphinx is a great tool for documenting your Python projects. With it, you can incorporate pydoc comments from your code into your docs and use the reStructuredText (RST) markup language to structure and style your document.
Once you’ve perfected your project documentation, you’ll probably want to host it somewhere. That’s where Read the Docs comes in, offering integration with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket to automatically pull new documentation sources from your repositories and build their Sphinx sources.
In this video course, you’ve learned how to:
- Write your documentation with Sphinx
- Structure and style your document with RST syntax
- Incorporate your pydoc comments into your documentation
- Host your documentation on Read the Docs
With these skills, you’ll be able to write and maintain effective documentation for your Python projects.
