A Sphinx extension to add markdown generation support.

pip3 install sphinx-markdown-builder==0.6.8

Add the extension to your conf.py file:

extensions = [
    ...,
    "sphinx_markdown_builder",
    ...,
]

Build markdown files with sphinx-build command

sphinx-build -M markdown ./docs ./build

You can add the following configurations to your conf.py file:

• markdown_anchor_sections/markdown_anchor_signatures: If set to True, then anchors will be added before each section/function/class signature. This allows references to a specific anchor in the document.
• markdown_docinfo: Adds metadata to the top of each document containing author, copyright, and version.
• markdown_http_base: If set, all references will link to this prefix address
• markdown_uri_doc_suffix: If set, all references will link to documents with this suffix.
• markdown_file_suffix: Sets the file extension for generated markdown files (default: .md).
• markdown_bullet: Sets the bullet marker.
• markdown_flavor: If set to github, output will suit GitHub's flavor of Markdown.

For example, if your conf.py file have the following configuration:

markdown_http_base = "https://your-domain.com/docs"
markdown_uri_doc_suffix = ".html"
markdown_bullet = "*"

Then a reference to your-doc-name#your-header will be substituted with https://your-domain.com/docs/your-doc-name.html#your-header.
