Docstring-Markdown

Docstring-Markdown is a fast and easy way to make beautiful documentation markdown files.

Why Docstring-Markdown

It's time to share your awesome new package with the world. And... get ready to spend the next week making your docs. Or, make beautiful docs with Docstring-Markdown in just a few lines of code.

Installation

$ pip install docstr-md

Quickstart

First, clone a test file from the Docstring-Markdown repo.

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dsbowen/docstr-md/master/test.py --output test.py

The example test.py uses sklearn formatted docstrings. Let's convert it to markdown.

from docstr_md.python import PySoup, compile_md
from docstr_md.src_href import Github

src_href = Github('https://github.com/dsbowen/docstr-md/blob/master')
soup = PySoup(path='test.py', parser='sklearn', src_href=src_href)
compile_md(soup, compiler='sklearn', outfile='test.md')

You'll now have a test.md file in your current directory. This is what it looks like rendered.
