/usr/share/pyshared/sphinx/ext/ and symlinked it to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sphinx/ext/ then have added to conf.py: extensions = ['sphinx.ext.numfig'] # numfig: number_figures = True figure_caption_prefix = "Fig." and the it numbers the figures: See :num:`link text #exfigure`. .. _exfigure: .. figure:: _static/UnixFileSystem.jpg :width: 50% :alt: Unix file system :align: center Figure caption. Two notes: *) it doesn't work with :name: *) one has to remove doctree before build Thanks for posting the link.
