Snippet of a Sphinx extension to allow global configuration of include paths via conf.py.
import sys
from docutils.parsers.rst import Directive
from docutils import nodes
# Usage:
# add this to conf.py:
# configurableinclude_paths = { 'module1': '/var/repositories/module1' }
#
# in your template, you can use:
# .. include_from_config:: module1 /docs/databaseaccess.rst
#
# This example should resolve to the full path '/var/repositories/module1/docs/databaseaccess.rst'
