Hi Sean,

thanks for the hard work you spend on this.

I will upload the docs to readthedocs server.

Thanks

>    because WebXML support was buggy in Qt 4.7 and dropped in Qt 4.8, and
>    Shiboken uses this to generate the docs (thanks Roman Lacko). This is very
>    annoying because parts of Qt 4.6 must be configured and built for qdoc3to build correctly.
>    - Shiboken has a documented --documentation-only flag but refuses to
>    actually accept it. But Shiboken doesn’t tell you which option was invalid,
>    only that it was “called with the wrong arguments.” This is annoying but
>    seems like it has an easy fix.

> The documentation build process is little convoluted in general. Some of
> these issues seem like they are out of the hands of PySide, though.
