Customizing the News File Output

Adding Content Above towncrier

If you wish to have content at the top of the news file (for example, to say where you can find the tickets), you can use a special rST comment to tell towncrier to only update after it. In your existing news file (e.g. NEWS.rst), add the following line above where you want towncrier to put content:

.. towncrier release notes start

In an existing news file, it’ll look something like this:

This is the changelog of my project. You can find the
issue tracker at http://blah.

.. towncrier release notes start

myproject 1.0.2 (2018-01-01)
