-
 Sphinx extension for building self-hosted versioned docs.
 
-This extension aims to provide a clean implementation that tries to avoid
-messing with Sphinx internals as much as possible.
+This is a Zuar fork of the original `sphinx-multiversion`, which
+lives here:  https://holzhaus.github.io/sphinx-multiversion/
 
-Documentation can be found at: https://holzhaus.github.io/sphinx-multiversion/
+The fork is necessary to add support for `smv_prebuild_command` which
+is not yet available in the original repo.  This fork can be
+removed once the prebuild feature is available via pypi.

+Prebuild command
+================
+
+In some cases it may be necessary to run a command in the checked out
+directory before building with sphinx. For example if you are using
+``sphinx-apidoc`` to generate the autodoc api source files.
+
+For example:
+
+    smv_prebuild_command = "sphinx-apidoc -o docs/api mymodule"
