The Sphinx (software)

The Sphinx is an open-source tool used to generate documentation for software projects, especially those written in Python. It transforms plain text files written in reStructuredText into well-structured, professional-looking documentation in formats like HTML and PDF. Sphinx is popular because it supports automatic documentation extraction from code, easy customization, and integration with version control systems. It is widely used by developers to create comprehensive guides, API references, and technical manuals that are clear and easy to navigate, helping users and developers understand and work with complex software systems effectively.
