Removing text such as “(x.y.z method)” and “(class in x.y.z)” from genindex.html










0















I am using sphinx-quickstart followed by sphinx-apidoc -o doc_path package_path and make html to create the documentation for my project.



I was successful in doing so, but when I opened the genindex.html page from the build folder, I noticed that the output was in the following format



class_name (class in package.sub_package)
function_name (package.sub_package.sub_sub_package.class method)


Since the name of my package and sub packages are long, this way of display is affecting the readability.



Is there a way to remove the content in the parentheses and simply provide the listing?
