Kinda boring.....
Add / Install Theme
---------------------
Let spice this up and a theme to your webpage!
You can check out some of the `Sphinx themes here `_
* There are others as well.
For now, let's use the `Executable Book Theme `_
First, we need to install ``sphinx_book_theme``
.. code-block:: bash
conda install -c anaconda sphinx-book-theme
or
.. code-block:: bash
pip install sphinx-book-theme
Conf
======
Now let's dive into the ``conf.py`` file and our theme and some other usefull extentions
Here is what your ``conf.py`` file looks like currently
.. code-block:: python
# list see the documentation:
# https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/configuration.html
# -- Path setup --------------------------------------------------------------
# If extensions (or modules to document with autodoc) are in another directory,
# add these directories to sys.path here. If the directory is relative to the
# documentation root, use os.path.abspath to make it absolute, like shown here.
#
# import os
# import sys
# sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('.'))
# -- Project information -----------------------------------------------------
project = 'WFRT-DEMO'
copyright = '2020, Chris'
author = 'Chris'
# -- General configuration ---------------------------------------------------
# Add any Sphinx extension module names here, as strings. They can be
# extensions coming with Sphinx (named 'sphinx.ext.*') or your custom
# ones.
extensions = [
]
# Add any paths that contain templates here, relative to this directory.
templates_path = ['_templates']
# List of patterns, relative to source directory, that match files and
# directories to ignore when looking for source files.
# This pattern also affects html_static_path and html_extra_path.
exclude_patterns = []
# -- Options for HTML output -------------------------------------------------
# The theme to use for HTML and HTML Help pages. See the documentation for
# a list of builtin themes.
#
html_theme = 'alabaster'
# Add any paths that contain custom static files (such as style sheets) here,
# relative to this directory. They are copied after the builtin static files,
# so a file named "default.css" will overwrite the builtin "default.css".
html_static_path = ['_static']
Add to Conf
------------
Now open the ``conf.py`` file in the ``source/`` folder and add the following to ``Path setup``...
.. code-block:: python
# -- Path setup --------------------------------------------------------------
# If extensions (or modules to document with autodoc) are in another directory,
# add these directories to sys.path here. If the directory is relative to the
# documentation root, use os.path.abspath to make it absolute, like shown here.
#
import os
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('..'))
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('../../'))
and than add the following from ``General configuration`` down..
.. code-block:: python
# -- General configuration ---------------------------------------------------
# Add any Sphinx extension module names here, as strings. They can be
# extensions coming with Sphinx (named 'sphinx.ext.*') or your custom
# ones.
extensions = [
"sphinx.ext.mathjax",
"sphinx.ext.autodoc",
"sphinx.ext.coverage",
"sphinx.ext.napoleon",
"sphinx.ext.autosectionlabel",
"nbsphinx",
"myst_parser",
"sphinx_copybutton",
]
# use language set by highlight directive if no language is set by role
inline_highlight_respect_highlight = False
# use language set by highlight directive if no role is set
inline_highlight_literals = False
# Add any paths that contain templates here, relative to this directory.
templates_path = ['_templates']
# List of patterns, relative to source directory, that match files and
# directories to ignore when looking for source files.
# This pattern also affects html_static_path and html_extra_path.
exclude_patterns = ['_build', 'Thumbs.db', '.DS_Store']
# -- Options for HTML output -------------------------------------------------
# The theme to use for HTML and HTML Help pages. See the documentation for
# a list of builtin themes.
#
html_theme = 'sphinx_book_theme'
# # Add any paths that contain custom static files (such as style sheets) here,
# # relative to this directory. They are copied after the builtin static files,
# # so a file named "default.css" will overwrite the builtin "default.css".
html_static_path = ['_static']
Clean / Make HTML
--------------------
Now, let's remake our website with the new theme and added extentions by first cleaning than remaking our build folder.
.. note::
You need to be in the docs folder when running ``make html`` or ``clean html``
We do that by running the following
.. code-block:: bash
make clean
make html
Let's push this new work to `GitHub `_ and see our website theme.
.. code-block:: bash
git add .
git commit -m "added theme to docs"
git push
New Theme
---------------
Now the website will look something like this:
