Overview

Concrete tool for configuring the Sphinx documentation build system for Triton Inference Server with NVIDIA theming, Markdown support, and cross-repository link rewriting.

Description

conf.py configures the Sphinx documentation builder for the Triton Inference Server documentation site. It integrates the NVIDIA Sphinx theme, enables myst-parser for Markdown file support, configures autosummary for API documentation generation, and implements custom link/URL replacement logic via the ultimateReplace() function for dynamic content substitution across documentation builds.

Usage

Used by the Sphinx build system (via sphinx-build or make docs) to generate the Triton documentation website. Developers modify this file to update documentation settings, theming, or link rewriting rules.
