NAME

       sphinx-build - Sphinx documentation generator tool

SYNOPSIS

       sphinx-build [options] <sourcedir> <outdir> [filenames ...]

DESCRIPTION

       sphinx-build  generates  documentation  from the files in <sourcedir> and places it in the
       <outdir>.

       sphinx-build   looks   for   <sourcedir>/conf.py   for   the    configuration    settings.
       sphinx-quickstart(1) may be used to generate template files, including conf.py.

       sphinx-build  can  create  documentation  in  different  formats.  A format is selected by
       specifying the builder name on the command line; it defaults to HTML.  Builders  can  also
       perform other tasks related to documentation processing.

       By  default,  everything that is outdated is built.  Output only for selected files can be
       built by specifying individual filenames.

       List of available builders:

       html   HTML file generation.  This is the default builder.

       dirhtml
              HTML file generation  with  every  HTML  file  named  "index.html"  in  a  separate
              directory.

       singlehtml
              HTML file generation with all content in a single HTML file.

       htmlhelp
              Generates files for CHM (compiled help files) generation.

       qthelp Generates files for Qt help collection generation.

       devhelp
              Generates files for the GNOME Devhelp help viewer.

       latex  Generates LaTeX output that can be compiled to a PDF document.

       man    Generates manual pages.

       texinfo
              Generates  Texinfo  output  that  can  be processed by makeinfo to generate an Info
              document.

       epub   Generates an ePub e-book version of the HTML output.

       text   Generates a plain-text version of the documentation.

       gettext
              Generates Gettext message catalogs for content translation.

       changes

              of the documented project.

       xml    Generates Docutils-native XML files.

       pseudoxml

              structure of the intermediate document trees.
