Location of Sphinx sources for my notes

Question

How can you fix the Sphinx's warning at the bottom?

I am trying to have my Python notes in Sphinx. I have my notes in separate files at the same directory level as the index.rst.

I get the following warnings after building HTML

The warning

/home/heo/S_codes/trig_functions.rst:: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree

in

The complete message when building

Are you aware of Sphinx's documentation? http://sphinx.pocoo.org/contents.html

Specifically, read about the toctree directive: http://sphinx.pocoo.org/concepts.html

You can have as many files as you want. Via toctree you can create a single document from many parts.

Please actually read this: http://sphinx.pocoo.org/concepts.html#document-names

Since the reST source files can have different extensions (some people like .txt, some like .rst – the extension can be configured with source_suffix) and different OSes have different path separators, Sphinx abstracts them: all “document names” are relative to the source directory, the extension is stripped, and path separators are converted to slashes. All values, parameters and suchlike referring to “documents” expect such a document name.

Examples for document names are index, library/zipfile, or reference/datamodel/types. Note that there is no leading slash.

Since you globbed with *, you do not need to list your files.

If you want to list your files, please actually read and follow the above rules.
