<p>The <strong class="program">sphinx-quickstart</strong> script generates a Sphinx documentation set.
It is called like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">$</span> sphinx-quickstart <span class="o">[</span>options<span class="o">]</span> <span class="o">[</span>projectdir<span class="o">]</span>

</div>
<p>where <em>projectdir</em> is the Sphinx documentation set directory in which you want
to place. If you omit <em>projectdir</em>, files are generated into current directory
by default.</p>
<p>The <strong class="program">sphinx-quickstart</strong> script has several options:</p>
<dl class="option">
