Hi,

Yes, your understanding is correct. autodoc reads a python script and
generates reST code containing "py:*" directives. After that,
generated code are parsed by nested_parse()
I hope source code of AutoDirective class will help you.
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/blob/7faeb793e2e16cde4e5759443fb7f84efddcd9ea/sphinx/ext/autodoc/directive.py#L109-L158

Thanks,
Takeshi KOMIYA
