Substitutions inside Sphinx code blocks aren't replaced
Use the "parsed-literal" directive.
.. parsed-literal:: ./home/user/somecommand-|version|Source: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/sphinx-dev/ABzaUiCfO_8:
Found a better solution (in my opinion), that can be used in others directives like :samp: and might be useful for future readers.
config.py:
def ultimateReplace(app, docname, source): result = source[0] for key in app.config.ultimate_replacements: result = result.replace(key, app.config.ultimate_replacements[key]) source[0] = resultultimate_replacements = { "{TEST}" : "replaced"}def setup(app): app.add_config_value('ultimate_replacements', {}, True) app.connect('source-read', ultimateReplace)And this kind of markup:
.. http:get:: testing/replacement/{TEST}Properly generates like:
testing/replacement/replacedNote, that if using this to replace an argument in the :samp: directive, a double bracket { is require.
:samp:`func({{TEST}})`.
