Hi. I've been using Sphinx for a little while for Stem, a python
library for Tor...

https://stem.torproject.org/
http://www.torproject.org/

Many thanks to the Sphinx developers, it has made documentation far
nicer! One thing I've been struggling with though are module
overviews. I'd like to provide a succinct summary of a module's
contents, preferably in a tree form so I can express inheritance.
Presently I'm doing this via ascii art in pre-formatted text blocks.
For example...

https://stem.torproject.org/api/connection.html
https://stem.torproject.org/api/control.html

... but this lacks an important feature for an overview: interlinking.
Is it possible to somehow include directives (:func:, :data:, etc)
within a pre-formatted text block or something similar? I'm only
aiming for html documentation, in case that opens some additional
options.

I briefly looked into graphviz and blockdiag after reading a prior
thread that was a little similar...

... but the results weren't very compact. On a side note I'd love it
if Sphinx had a :tree: directive. :)

Thanks! -Damian

PS. If anyone has an alternative method for doing module overviews
that they think works well then I'd love to see it!
