NAME

       sphinx-quickstart - Sphinx documentation template generator

SYNOPSIS

       sphinx-quickstart

DESCRIPTION

       sphinx-quickstart  is  an interactive tool that asks some questions about your project and
       then generates a complete documentation directory and sample  Makefile  to  be  used  with
       sphinx-build(1).

OPTIONS

       -q, --quiet
              Quiet  mode  that skips the interactive wizard for specifying options.  This option
              requires -p, -a and -v options.

       -h, --help, --version
              Display usage summary or Sphinx version.

       Structure Options

       --sep  If specified, separate source and build directories.

       --no-sep
              If specified, create build directory under source directory.

       --dot=DOT
              Inside the root directory, two more directories will be created;  "_templates"  for
              custom  HTML templates and "_static" for custom stylesheets and other static files.
              You can enter another prefix (such as ".") to replace the underscore.

       Makefile and Batchfile Creation Options

       --use-make-mode (-m), --no-use-make-mode (-M)
