A fork of sphinx-bootstrap-theme that uses bootstrap-material-design. Original README contents are below.
Original repo: https://github.com/ryan-roemer/sphinx-bootstrap-theme
This Sphinx theme integrates the Bootstrap CSS / JavaScript framework with various layout options, hierarchical menu navigation, and mobile-friendly responsive design. It is configurable, extensible, and can use any number of different Bootswatch CSS themes.
The theme is introduced and discussed in the following posts:
- 12/09/2011 - Twitter Bootstrap Theme for Sphinx
- 11/19/2012 - Sphinx Bootstrap Theme Updates - Mobile, Dropdowns, and More
- 2/12/2013 - Sphinx Bootstrap Theme 0.1.6 - Bootstrap and Other Updates
- 4/10/2013 - Sphinx Bootstrap Theme 0.2.0 - Now with Bootswatch!
- 9/8/2013 - Sphinx Bootstrap Theme 0.3.0 - Bootstrap v3 and more!
Examples of the theme in use for some public projects:
- Sphinx Bootstrap Theme: This project, with the theme option
'bootswatch_theme': "sandstone"to use the "Sandstone" Bootswatch theme. - Django Cloud Browser: A Django reusable app for browsing cloud datastores (e.g., Amazon Web Services S3).
- C++ Format: Small, safe and fast formatting library for C++.
The theme demo website also includes an examples page for some useful illustrations of getting Sphinx to play nicely with Bootstrap (also take a look at the examples source for the underlying reStructuredText).
Installation from PyPI is fairly straightforward:
Install the package:
$ pip install sphinx_bootstrap_theme
Edit the "conf.py" configuration file to point to the bootstrap theme:
# At the top. import sphinx_bootstrap_theme # ... # Activate the theme. html_theme = 'bootstrap' html_theme_path = sphinx_bootstrap_theme.get_html_theme_path()
The can be customized in varying ways (some a little more work than others).
The theme provides many built-in options that can be configured by editing your "conf.py" file:
# (Optional) Logo. Should be small enough to fit the navbar (ideally 24x24).
# Path should be relative to the ``_static`` files directory.
html_logo = "my_logo.png"
# Theme options are theme-specific and customize the look and feel of a
# theme further.
html_theme_options = {
# Navigation bar title. (Default: ``project`` value)
'navbar_title': "Demo",
# Tab name for entire site. (Default: "Site")
'navbar_site_name': "Site",
# A list of tuples containing pages or urls to link to.
# Valid tuples should be in the following forms:
# (name, page) # a link to a page
# (name, "/aa/bb", 1) # a link to an arbitrary relative url
# (name, "http://example.com", True) # arbitrary absolute url
# Note the "1" or "True" value above as the third argument to indicate
# an arbitrary url.
'navbar_links': [
("Examples", "examples"),
("Link", "http://example.com", True),
],
# Render the next and previous page links in navbar. (Default: true)
'navbar_sidebarrel': True,
# Render the current pages TOC in the navbar. (Default: true)
'navbar_pagenav': True,
# Tab name for the current pages TOC. (Default: "Page")
'navbar_pagenav_name': "Page",
# Global TOC depth for "site" navbar tab. (Default: 1)
# Switching to -1 shows all levels.
'globaltoc_depth': 2,
# Include hidden TOCs in Site navbar?
#
# Note: If this is "false", you cannot have mixed ``:hidden:`` and
# non-hidden ``toctree`` directives in the same page, or else the build
# will break.
#
# Values: "true" (default) or "false"
'globaltoc_includehidden': "true",
# HTML navbar class (Default: "navbar") to attach to <div> element.
# For black navbar, do "navbar navbar-inverse"
'navbar_class': "navbar navbar-inverse",
# Fix navigation bar to top of page?
# Values: "true" (default) or "false"
'navbar_fixed_top': "true",
# Location of link to source.
# Options are "nav" (default), "footer" or anything else to exclude.
'source_link_position': "nav",
# Bootswatch (http://bootswatch.com/) theme.
#
# Options are nothing (default) or the name of a valid theme
# such as "amelia" or "cosmo".
'bootswatch_theme': "united",
# Choose Bootstrap version.
# Values: "3" (default) or "2" (in quotes)
'bootstrap_version': "3",
}
Note for the navigation bar title that if you don't specify a theme option of
navbar_title that the "conf.py" project string will be used. We don't
use the html_title or html_short_title values because by default those
both contain version strings, which the navigation bar treats differently.
The theme supports Bootstrap v2.3.2 and v3.3.4 via the
bootstrap_version theme option (of "2" or "3"). Some notes
regarding version differences:
- Bootstrap 3 has dropped support for sub-menus, so while supported by this theme, they will not show up in site or page menus.
- Internally, "navbar.html" is the Sphinx template used for Bootstrap v3 and "navbar-2.html" is the template used for v2.
As a more "hands on" approach to customization, you can override any template
in this Sphinx theme or any others. A good candidate for changes is
"layout.html", which provides most of the look and feel. First, take a look
at the "layout.html" file that the theme provides, and figure out
what you need to override. As a side note, we have some theme-specific
enhancements, such as the navbarextra template block for additional
content in the navbar.
Then, create your own "_templates" directory and "layout.html" file (assuming you build from a "source" directory):
$ mkdir source/_templates $ touch source/_templates/layout.html
Then, configure your "conf.py":
templates_path = ['_templates']
Finally, edit your override file "source/_templates/layout.html":
{# Import the theme's layout. #}
{% extends "!layout.html" %}
{# Add some extra stuff before and use existing with 'super()' call. #}
{% block footer %}
<h2>My footer of awesomeness.</h2>
{{ super() }}
{% endblock %}
Alternately, you could add your own custom static media directory with a CSS file to override a style, which in the demo would be something like:
$ mkdir source/_static $ touch source/_static/my-styles.css
Then, in "conf.py", edit this line:
html_static_path = ["_static"]
You will also need the override template "source/_templates/layout.html" file configured as above, but with the following code:
{# Import the theme's layout. #}
{% extends "!layout.html" %}
{# Custom CSS overrides #}
{% set bootswatch_css_custom = ['_static/my-styles.css'] %}
Then, in the new file "source/_static/my-styles.css", add any appropriate styling, e.g. a bold background color:
footer {
background-color: red;
}
The theme places the global TOC, local TOC, navigation (prev, next) and source links all in the top Bootstrap navigation bar, along with the Sphinx search bar on the left side.
The global (site-wide) table of contents is the "Site" navigation dropdown,
which is a configurable level rendering of the toctree for the entire site.
The local (page-level) table of contents is the "Page" navigation dropdown,
which is a multi-level rendering of the current page's toc.
The theme offers Bootstrap v2.x and v3.x, both of which rely on
jQuery v.1.9.x. As the jQuery that Bootstrap wants can radically depart from
the jQuery Sphinx internal libraries use, the library from this theme is
integrated via noConflict() as $jqTheme.
You can override any static JS/CSS files by dropping different versions in your Sphinx "_static" directory.
Contributions to this project are most welcome. Please make sure that the demo site builds cleanly, and looks like what you want. First build the demo:
$ fab clean && fab demo
Then, view the site in the development server:
$ fab demo_server
Also, if you are adding a new type of styling or Sphinx or Bootstrap construct, please add a usage example to the "Examples" page.
Note: If you are in Python 3, Fabric isn't available, so we have a very rough Makefile in its place. Try:
$ make clean && make demo
Then, view the site in the development server:
$ make demo_server
