Do I understand correctly, that your build fails due to the missing references? So you can't have your PDF without these parts?
Why do you use exclude_patterns
at all, can't you just set master_doc
to the document you need and run the build?
Edit: Btw, if your issue is runtime, that should be ok as most time is consumed by writing, not reading. And writing is scoped to the master_doc and below.
Hello,
I am considering switching from LaTeX to SimplePDF for a number of reasons. The first tests were very concluant, it works (almost) great out of the box, however, there is a quite important limitation due to our environment.
The documentation project is divided in 3 folders, Installation, Operation and Reference, with a single conf.py file at the root of the repo, and we build 3 separate PDFs, one for each folder, as the total reaches 1500 pages.
I am trying to use if/else statements for the
master_doc
andexclude_patterns
in the following form (pseudo code):BUT doing so does not allow cross-referencing (using
:ref:<reference>
) between Installation/Operation/Reference, as 2 out of the 3 are excluded when building PDFs.Is there currently a way to build 3 PDFs out of 1 Sphinx project, or to disable/bypass cross-referencing?
I do not need internal links inside the PDF.
Thank you in advance for your help!
