Breathe

Your technical docs, beautifully integrated

Build Status

Website • Documentation • Sponsor

Sponsor: If you benefit from using Breathe as a company or an individual, you can financially support the Breathe project with recurring or one off contributions via Open Collective.

Breathe is a Sphinx plugin providing beautifully integrated Doxygen output in your user-facing documentation. It allows you to combine Doxygen’s excellent technical understanding of your code base with the superb long form documentation output of the Sphinx system.

For Packagers

  • Breathe packages on PyPI are PGP signed for Breathe >= v4.28.0.

  • Breathe tarballs on GitHub are PGP signed for Breathe >= v4.29.0.

Download

Breathe is available from github and PyPI, the Python Package Index. It can be installed with:

pip install breathe

Documentation

The documentation is available here. Thank you to the people running Read the Docs for such an excellent service.

The source for the documentation is in the documentation folder if you want to built it and read it locally.

Testing

The testsuite can be run with:

make dev-test

The documentation also does a good effort of covering the available functionality with different examples. To build the documentation, run:

make

This will run doxygen over the example code and then run the Breathe documentation. View the results at:

documentation/build/html/index.html

Further to this if you want to compare the current documentation output against a previous state in order to check for regressions there is a compare script in the documentation folder. It takes two arguments which are two commit references that you’d like to compare. This means that all your changes have to be committed first. Also the script does not resolve state dependent references like HEAD so provide concrete commit references like sha1s or branch names. A typical example is to compare your current branch output to master:

# Make sure all your changes are committed first
cd documentation
./compare master my-branch

This will do a checkout and build at each commit and then run meld against the resulting directories so you can see the differences introduced by your branch.

Requirements

Breathe requires Python 3.9+, Sphinx 7.2+, and Doxygen 1.9.2+.
