docs: document PathConstraints and HeaderConstraints properties properly #690

Closed dhalperi closed 1 month ago

dhalperi commented 4 years ago

If I look at the docs for bfq.reachability, the DispositionSpec link goes to a page explaining the specifier.

However, the HeaderConstraints link goes to python documentation instead of a custom documentation page. Same for Path. This makes it pretty hard on our users (Rick Donato on Slack, this time)

What is the ideal here? Header and Path constraints are classes in Python, so the documentation takes them there (as it does for Flow, Trace, etc.) DispositionSpec is a string from Python perspective.

Dan - Are you imagining that we create custom pages for Header and Path constraints, instead of, say, enhancing the python documentation of those classes?

Header and Path Constraints have specs in them. Users should be able to get to those spec documentations in exactly the same way as if the spec was a top-level parameter.
