💖 datatemplate(1) — the General Commands Manual moment 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about datatemplate, the CLI for the sphinxcontrib datatemplates extension ✨ it lives in section 1 of the general commands manual, and it's about to be your new hyperfixation 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

datatemplate — the CLI for the sphinxcontrib datatemplates extension 🦋

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so the whole vibe is:

datatemplate [-h] [--config-file CONFIG_FILE] {render,dump} ...

that's the shape of it, that's the silhouette, that's the whole fit 💅 you give it some flags, you pick a command, and it does the thing.

✨ options: ✨

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips, exit stage left, no notes 👑
  • --config-file CONFIG_FILE — the path to conf.py, aka where your config lives, aka the address of the main character 🏠

🫶 commands: 🫶

these are the valid commands, bestie, and there are exactly two:

{render,dump}
  • render — render a template to stdout 🎀
  • dump — dump the data to stdout without a template 😭 just raw data, no glam, no filter

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

the full documentation for sphinxcontrib-datatemplates is available in the /usr/share/doc/python-sphinxcontrib.datatemplates-doc/html directory 📚 as html documentation generated by Sphinx ✨ so if you want the deep lore, that's where it's at, iykyk.

fr fr though — if you're ever lost, hit that -h, she will never lie to you 💖

and that's the page, bestie 💅 this was datatemplate at version 0.11.0, dated September 2025, serving general-commands-manual energy from section 1. periodt. 🦋🌸✨
