I cannot eliminate the doctest flags (ie. <BLANKLINE>
, # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
) for the html output. I am able to generate the documentation as I would like, so no errors there but it includes theses flags which I would like removed. Sphinx documentation here claims this is possible so I must be doing something wrong. My documentation examples are in numpy style and I have tried using both the napoleon and numpydoc extensions.
Here are the steps I have taken.
sphinx-quickstart
(enabling autodoc
and doctest
extensions)sphinx-apidoc
to generate .rst filesmake doctest
(all tests are passing)make html
I have tried the setting trim_doctest_flags
and doctest_test_doctest_blocks
variables in conf.py
with no success.
Is there something I am missing to trigger sphinx to remove these for the html docs? I am hoping this is enough information to get pointed in the right direction since the docs look good except for this one issue. However, I can provide more details or an example if necessary.

Based on the comment by @mzjn, it appears that this was a bug, fixed in Sphinx 2.2.0:
Issue: doctest comments not getting trimmed since Sphinx 1.8.0 - Issue #6545
