+
+The WebSupport Class
+====================
+
+.. class:: WebSupport
+
+ The main API class for the web support package. All interactions with the
+ web support package should occur through this class.
+
+ The class takes the following keyword arguments:
+
+ srcdir
+ The directory containing reStructuredText source files.
+
+ builddir
+ The directory that build data and static files should be placed in. This
+ should be used when creating a :class:`WebSupport` object that will be
+ used to build data.
+
+ datadir
+ The directory that the web support data is in. This should be used when
+ creating a :class:`WebSupport` object that will be used to retrieve data.
+
+ search
+ This may contain either a string (e.g. 'xapian') referencing a built-in
+ search adapter to use, or an instance of a subclass of
+ :class:`~.search.BaseSearch`.
+
+ storage
+ This may contain either a string representing a database uri, or an
+ instance of a subclass of :class:`~.storage.StorageBackend`. If this is
+ not provided, a new sqlite database will be created.
+
+ moderation_callback
+ A callable to be called when a new comment is added that is not
+ displayed. It must accept one argument: a dictionary representing the
+ comment that was added.
+
+ staticdir
+ If static files are served from a location besides ``'/static'``, this
+ should be a string with the name of that location
+ (e.g. ``'/static_files'``).
+
+ docroot
+ If the documentation is not served from the base path of a URL, this
+ should be a string specifying that path (e.g. ``'docs'``).
