I am wondering how can I have a new line when generating auto documentation using Sphinx. I am not using the default Sphinx docstring format reStructuredText, but I am using the Numpydoc format. I tried using '\n' yet it makes a line break, and I only need a new line. Here is an example of a Python module ...
""" This is the first sentences
| this is the second sentence at line 2 ... note that vertical bar
| this is the second sentence at line 3 ... note that vertical bar
......
def function1 (input):
""" this function docstring starts here
| this is not sentence number 2 at the vertical bar is not working
| this is not sentence number 3 at the vertical bar is not working
| this is not sentence number 4 at the vertical bar is not working
"""
Simply add a blank line after the first line:
def function1 (input):
""" this function docstring starts here
| this is not sentence number 2 at the vertical bar is not working
| this is not sentence number 3 at the vertical bar is not working
| this is not sentence number 4 at the vertical bar is not working
"""
Body elements are separated by blank lines. The docstring consists of two body elements: a regular paragraph and a line block.
