[sphinx-dev to bcc] Hi Viktor,
This mailing list (sphinx-dev) is for the *development of* Sphinx, not so much for using/extending it. sphinx-users@ <https://groups.google.com/d/forum/sphinx-users> is the higher-traffic list where you have much higher chances of somebody from outside the core team replying. Looking at the blame view for application.py <https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/blame/master/sphinx/application.py>, it seems sphinx.Sphinx just recently <https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/commit/72f267c6ae27144b46a23725b6634cc35f03fb50> (9d ago) grew the registry attribute. Why do you have to override the default builder in the first place? Why not just add a new one? :-) Hope this helps, Robert On Tue, Apr 25, 2017 at 7:28 PM, Viktor Haag <viktor.h...@gmail.com> wrote: > Starting to look at updating to the upcoming Sphinx v1.6, and I have a > question about using a custom builder. > > We have a builder that is, effectively, a simple wrapper around the basic > HTML builder.
