WARNING: We suggest using the new handler instead:
[mkdocstrings-python](https://mkdocstrings.github.io/python/).

## Installation

You can install this handler as a *mkdocstrings* extra:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
# PEP 621 dependencies declaration
# adapt to your dependencies manager
[project]
dependencies = [
    "mkdocstrings[python-legacy]>=0.18",
]
```

You can also explicitely depend on the handler:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
# PEP 621 dependencies declaration
# adapt to your dependencies manager
[project]
dependencies = [
    "mkdocstrings-python-legacy",
]
```

## Preview

<!-- TODO: update the GIF with a more recent screen capture. Maybe use mp4 instead -->

## Features

- **Data collection from source code**: collection of the object-tree and the docstrings is done thanks to
  [pytkdocs](https://github.com/mkdocstrings/pytkdocs).

- **Support for type annotations:** pytkdocs collects your type annotations and *mkdocstrings* uses them
  to display parameters types or return types. 

- **Recursive documentation of Python objects:** just use the module dotted-path as identifier, and you get the full
  module docs. You don't need to inject documentation for each class, function, etc.

- **Support for documented attributes:** attributes (variables) followed by a docstring (triple-quoted string) will
  be recognized by Griffe in modules, classes and even in `__init__` methods.

- **Multiple docstring-styles support:** common support for Google-style, Numpydoc-style,
  and Sphinx-style docstrings.

- **Admonition support in Google docstrings:** blocks like `Note:` or `Warning:` will be transformed
  to their [admonition](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/reference/admonitions/) equivalent.
  *We do not support nested admonitions in docstrings!*

- **Every object has a TOC entry:** we render a heading for each object, meaning *MkDocs* picks them into the Table
  of Contents, which is nicely display by the Material theme. Thanks to *mkdocstrings* cross-reference ability,
  you can reference other objects within your docstrings, with the classic Markdown syntax:
  `[this object][package.module.object]` or directly with `[package.module.object][]`

- **Source code display:** *mkdocstrings* can add a collapsible div containing the highlighted source code
  of the Python object.
