On the fly conversion of Python docstrings to markdown
- Python 3.6+ (tested on 3.7 up to 3.11)
- can recognise reStructuredText and convert multiple of its features to Markdown
- since v0.13 includes initial support for Google-formatted docstrings
### Installation
```bash
pip install docstring-to-markdown
```
### Example
Convert reStructuredText:
```python
>>> import docstring_to_markdown
>>> docstring_to_markdown.convert(':math:`\\sum`')
'$\\sum$'
```
When given the format cannot be recognised an exception will be raised:
```python
>>> docstring_to_markdown.convert('\\sum')
Traceback (most recent call last):
raise UnknownFormatError()
docstring_to_markdown.UnknownFormatError
```
