Following on from astropy/astropy-helpers#161, which added an alias to the
build_sphinxcommand to simplybuild_docs, change references tobuild_sphinxin the documentation to the less cryptic-lookingbuild_docs.We shouldn't jump the gun on merging this PR yet. For one, Astropy hasn't even updated the astropy-helpers submodule to point to a version that includes this alias. And even once that happens this could be confusing for contributors working on older branches of astropy, or to contributors to affiliated packages that have not yet updated astropy-helpers (though I did add a note in the developer docs to try
build_sphinxifbuild_docsdoesn't work).Just front-loading this PR so that it's ready for when we feel it's safe to make the switch.
