Instead of generating only HTML documentation, you can use the sphinx-build command with the markdown builder to produce Markdown files directly from your reStructuredText source. It depends on Sphinx, tabulate, and docutils\u2014all widely used documentation and data-processing libraries.\n\nThe extension is configured through your Sphinx conf.py file and supports several options to control output: anchor generation for section references, metadata injection (author, copyright, version), custom link prefixes and suffixes for cross-references, file extension customization, bullet-point style, and GitHub-flavored Markdown output. This makes it useful for projects that want to maintain documentation in both Markdown and HTML, or to generate Markdown for publishing to platforms like GitHub that natively render Markdown.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and solves a real problem for projects that need Markdown output from Sphinx documentation. The MIT license is permissive. Install it if you need to generate Markdown from reStructuredText or want Markdown as an alternative Sphinx builder."},"id":"sphinx-markdown-builder","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sphinx-markdown-builder","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sphinx-markdown-builder.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sphinx-markdown-builder/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-11","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sphinx-markdown-builder","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Sphinx extension to add markdown generation support."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":589151,"position":5864,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.10"}
