SN-objects from list

[danwos]

I often use nested lists to define and discuss some content. Like a tool->feature->error list:

• Sphinx
  • Build HTML
  • Directive not found
  • Build PDF
    • ...
• git
  • Commit changes
  • ...

When everything is discussed, this list gets transformed by hand to Sphinx-Needs objects. This is an annoying and stupid task, which could get automated.

So the VS-Code extension should be able to take such a list and create the related rst/md code for me. Example:

.. tool:: Sphinx
   :id: SPHINX

   .. feature:: Build HTML
      :id: SOME_HASH_1

      .. error:: Directive not found
         :id: SOME_HASH_2
         :links: SOME_HASH_1

So also some configuration is needed:

• Sphinx-Needs type for each level
• Nested objects (as part of parent content) or always standalone objects?
• Links to set
• I guess much more will show up...

This is already done by list2needs.

No need to support is also int the VsCod extension
