A plugin to suggest documentation links when someone asks a basic question.

sopel-rtfm provides one command:

• .rtfm — searches the configured Sphinx object inventory for the best match, and outputs a link to its documentation.

Two settings exist, one of which is required:

[rtfm]
# Required: URL of the objects.inv file you want `.rtfm` to search
inventory = https://docs.project.site/objects.inv
# Optional, but useful if automatically determining the base URL doesn't work
link_base = https://docs.project.site/

This plugin is built for Sopel 7.0+, but targets Python 3.6+ only (no py2.7).

In addition, it needs the sphobjinv module from PyPI.

Optionally, you can install sphobjinv[speedup] for faster searches; this may or may not work depending on whether your installation of Python includes the necessary dependencies for building C extensions.
