You may, to some extent, utilize :mod:`~django.contrib.admindocs` to quickly
document your own code. This has limited usage, however, as the app is
primarily intended for documenting templates, template tags, and filters.

from the documentation because they can't be invoked from templates. The app
can still be useful since it doesn't require you to write any extra
documentation (besides docstrings) and is conveniently available from the
:mod:`Django admin <django.contrib.admin>`.
