 Writing docstrings
 ==================
 
-There are several different docstring formats which one can use in order to enable Sphinx's ``autodoc`` extension to automatically generate documentation. For this tutorial we will use the ``Sphinx`` format, since, as the name suggests, it is the standar format used with Sphinx. Other formats include ``Google`` (see `here <https://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example_google.html>`_) and ``NumPy`` (see `here <http://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example_numpy.html#example-numpy>`_), but they require the use of Sphinx's ``napoleon`` extension, which is beyond the scope of this tutorial.

The ``:raises:`` option is used to describe any errors that are raised by the code, while the ``:return:`` and ``:rtype:`` options are used to describe any values returned by our code.

 Note that the ``...`` notation has been used above to indicate repetition and should not be used when generating actual docstrings, as can be seen by the example presented below.

 If you are using VS code, the `Python Docstring <https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=njpwerner.autodocstring>`_ extension can be used to auto-generate a docstring snippet once a function/class has been written. If you want the extension to generate docstrings in ``Sphinx`` format, you must set the ``"autoDocstring.docstringFormat": "sphinx"`` setting, under File > Preferences > Settings. 
 
-Note that it is best to write the docstrings once you have fully defined the function/class, as then the extension will generate the full dosctring. If you make any changes to the code once a docstring is generated, you will have to manually go and update the affected docstrings.
