Using Sphinx to create context-sensitive help files in HTML

I am currently using AsciiDoc for documenting my software projects because it supports PDF and HTML help generation. I am currently running it through Cygwin so that the a2x toolchain functions properly. This works well for me but is a pain to setup on other Windows computers. I have been looking for alternative methods and recently revisited Sphinx. Noticing that it now produces HTML help files I gave it a try and it seems to work well in the small tests I per开发者_运维百科formed.

My question is, is there a way to specify map id's for context sensitive help in the text so that my Windows programs can call the proper help API and the file is launched and opened to the desired location?

In AsciiDoc I am using pass::[<?dbhh topicname="_about" topicid="801"?>]. By using these constructs a context.h and alias.h are generated along with the other HTML help files (context sensitive help information).

I do not know about AcsiiDoc much, but in Sphinx you can reference arbitrary locations by placing anchors where you need them. See :ref: role.
