This extension cross-references API documentation generated by epydoc. It works with the standard roles of the Python domain.
Use the following configuration value to activate the cross-referencing:
A dictionary mapping URIs to a list of regular expression.
Each key of this dictionary is a base url of an epydoc-generated documentation. Each value is a list of regular expressions, the reference target must match (see re.match()) to be cross-referenced with the base url.
For instance, assume this value was set to the following:
epydoc_mapping = {
'http://paludis.pioto.org/api/python/': [r'paludis\.'],
}
Then the following cross-reference would link to the documentation of the paludis.PackageID class:
This is a cross-reference to the :class:`paludis.PackageID`
