Automatic toctree update

directory, glob, python-sphinx, toctree

Solution

You can use the `glob` option which enables wildcards. Like this:

.. toctree::
   :glob:

   *

This adds all other *.rst files in the same directory to the toctree.

Reference: "Use “globbing” in toctree directives"

Problem

I'm not sure if this is possible. But I'm hoping to put multiple .rst files in a directory, and during compilation. I want these files to automatically be inserted in the `toctree`. How can I go about this?
