+Kconfig Extension
+#################
+
+Copyright (c) 2022 Nordic Semiconductor ASA
+SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This extension adds a new domain (``kconfig``) for the Kconfig language. Unlike
+many other domains, the Kconfig options are not rendered by Sphinx directly but
+on the client side using a database built by the extension. A special directive
+``.. kconfig:search::`` can be inserted on any page to render a search box that
+allows to browse the database. References to Kconfig options can be created by
+using the ``:kconfig:option:`` role. Kconfig options behave as regular domain
+objects, so they can also be referenced by other projects using Intersphinx.
+
+Options
+=======
+
+- kconfig_generate_db: Set to True if you want to generate the Kconfig database.
+  This is only required if you want to use the ``.. kconfig:search::``
+  directive, not if you just need support for Kconfig domain (e.g. when using
+  Intersphinx in another project). Defaults to False.
+- kconfig_ext_paths: A list of base paths where to search for external modules
+  Kconfig files when they use ``kconfig-ext: True``. The extension will look for
+  ${BASE_PATH}/modules/${MODULE_NAME}/Kconfig.
