Application API
===============

.. module:: sphinx.application
   :synopsis: Application class and extensibility interface.


Each Sphinx extension is a Python module with at least a :func:`setup`
function.  This function is called at initialization time with one argument,
the application object representing the Sphinx process.

.. class:: Sphinx

   This application object has the public API described in the following.

Extension setup

These methods are usually called in an extension's ``setup()`` function.

Examples of using the Sphinx extension API can be seen in the :mod:`sphinx.ext`
package.

.. currentmodule:: sphinx.application

.. automethod:: Sphinx.require_sphinx

.. automethod:: Sphinx.connect

.. automethod:: Sphinx.add_html_theme

.. automethod:: Sphinx.add_html_math_renderer

.. automethod:: Sphinx.add_message_catalog

.. automethod:: Sphinx.is_parallel_allowed

.. exception:: ExtensionError

   All these methods raise this exception if something went wrong with the
   extension API.

---------------

.. class:: Sphinx
   :no-index:

   .. automethod:: emit

   .. automethod:: emit_firstresult


Sphinx runtime information
