This method is a very convenient way to add a new :term:`object` type that can be cross-referenced. It will do this: - Create a new directive (called *directivename*) for documenting an object. It will automatically add index entries if *indextemplate* is nonempty; if given, it must contain exactly one instance of ``%s``. See the example below for how the template will be interpreted. - Create a new role (called *rolename*) to cross-reference to these object descriptions. - If you provide *parse_node*, it must be a function that takes a string and a docutils node, and it must populate the node with children parsed from the string. It must then return the name of the item to be used in cross-referencing and index entries. See the :file:`conf.py` file in the source for this documentation for an example. - The *objname* (if not given, will default to *directivename*) names the type of object. It is used when listing objects, e.g. in search results.

Most useful are ``docutils.nodes.emphasis`` or ``docutils.nodes.strong`` -- you can also use ``docutils.nodes.generated`` if you want no further text decoration. If the text should be treated as literal (e.g. no smart quote replacement), but not have typewriter styling, use ``sphinx.addnodes.literal_emphasis`` or ``sphinx.addnodes.literal_strong``.
