Advanced Configuration
======================
This page covers advanced configuration options for the sphinx-llms-txt extension.
.. _customizing_llms_files:
Customizing the LLMs Files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By default, the extension generates two files:
1. ``llms.txt`` - A summary file in Markdown format
2. ``llms-full.txt`` - A complete documentation file in reStructuredText format
You can customize these files in several ways:
.. _changing_filenames:
Changing Filenames
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can change the default filenames by setting these values in your ``conf.py``:
.. code-block:: python
llms_txt_filename = "custom-summary.txt"
llms_txt_full_filename = "custom-docs.txt"
.. _disabling_file_generation:
Disabling File Generation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you only want one of the files, you can disable generation of the other:
.. code-block:: python
# Disable summary file
llms_txt_file = False
# Disable full documentation file
llms_txt_full_file = False
.. _custom_summary:
Adding a Custom Summary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The summary file can include a custom description of your project:
.. code-block:: python
llms_txt_summary = """
This documentation explains how to use MyProject to build amazing
applications. The project provides a comprehensive API for handling
data processing and visualization.
"""
.. note:: The summary can span multiple lines and will be properly formatted in the output file.
.. _custom_title:
Custom Title
~~~~~~~~~~~~
By default, the project name from Sphinx is used as the title in ``llms.txt``. You can override this:
.. code-block:: python
llms_txt_title = "My Custom Project Documentation"
.. _handling_large_documentation:
Handling Large Documentation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For very large documentation sets, generating the full documentation file might exceed reasonable size limits.
You can set a maximum line count:
.. code-block:: python
llms_txt_full_max_size = 10000 # Maximum 10,000 lines
If the generated file would exceed this limit, the extension will skip its generation and show a warning, allowing the build to complete.
.. tip:: Use :ref:`excluding_content` to remove less relevant pages.
.. _custom_directive_handling:
Custom Directive Handling
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. _path_resolution:
Path Resolution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The extension resolves paths in the common directives ``[ 'image', 'figure']`` by default.
You can add custom directives to this list:
.. code-block:: python
llms_txt_directives = [
"my-custom-image-directive",
"another-directive-with-paths",
]
This ensures that paths in your custom directives are properly resolved in the generated files.
.. _excluding_content:
Excluding Content
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can exclude specific pages from being included in the generated files:
.. code-block:: python
llms_txt_exclude = [
"search", # Exclude the search page
"genindex", # Exclude the index page
"private_*", # Exclude all pages starting with 'private_'
]
This is useful for excluding auto-generated pages, indexes, or content that isn't relevant for LLM consumption.
.. _using_html_baseurl:
Using HTML Base URL
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you want to include absolute URLs for resources in your documentation, you can use Sphinx's built-in ``html_baseurl`` configuration:
.. code-block:: python
html_baseurl = "https://example.com/docs/"
When this option is set, all resolved paths in directives will be prefixed with this URL, creating absolute paths in the generated files.
.. _integration_examples:
Integration Examples
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Complete Configuration Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a complete example showing multiple configuration options:
.. code-block:: python
# File names and generation options
llms_txt_filename = "ai-summary.txt"
llms_txt_full_filename = "ai-full-docs.txt"
llms_txt_full_max_size = 50000
# Content customization
llms_txt_title = "Project Documentation for AI Assistants"
llms_txt_summary = """
This is a comprehensive documentation set for our project.
It includes API references, usage examples, and tutorials.
"""
# Path handling
html_baseurl = "https://docs.example.com/"
llms_txt_directives = ["custom-image", "custom-include"]
# Content filtering
llms_txt_exclude = ["search", "genindex", "404", "private_*"]
