The automodsumm directive takes all objects in a module and generates a table of these objects and associated API pages. The automodapi <automodapi> directive then calls automodsumm once for functions and once for classes, and adds the module docstring - but effectively, the bulk of the work in creating the API tables and pages is done by automodsumm.
Nevertheless, in most cases, users should not need to call automodsumm directly, except if finer control is desired. The syntax of the directive is:
.. automodsumm:: mypackage.mymodule
<options go here>The automodsumm directive is described in more detail below.
