numpydoc
========

Sphinx extension that handles docstrings in the Numpy standard format. [1]

It will:

- Convert Parameters etc. sections to field lists.
- Convert See Also section to a See also entry.
- Renumber references.
- Extract the signature from the docstring, if it can't be determined otherwise.
