pdoc

Add module documentation as a page using pdoc

To install, run nikola plugin -i pdoc

Compiler plugin to Document Python modules using PDoc.

This module allows you to create Nikola pages based on the documentation for a python module or identifier.

Just create the page as usual:

nikola new_page -f pdoc

And as content in the page, put a module name, for example, this will create a page with the documentation for the csv module:

csv

You can also use a module and an identifier. To document the excel identifier in the csv module:

csv excel

This is still rather raw, the output doesn't look great, the JS interactions are broken, and CSS is lacking, but it's a start.
