Sphinx Extension

A Sphinx extension is a plugin that enhances the functionality of Sphinx, a tool used for creating comprehensive and well-structured documentation from source files. Extensions can add features such as custom directives, improved formatting, or integrations with other tools, making the documentation process more flexible and powerful. Think of it as adding apps to a smartphone to expand its capabilities—extensions tailor Sphinx to better suit specific documentation needs without altering its core system. They allow developers to customize and streamline documentation workflows efficiently.
