Configuration

Theme options

The following options can be defined in your project’s conf.py file, using the html_theme_options configuration option.

For example:

html_theme_options = {
    'analytics_id': 'G-XXXXXXXXXX',  #  Provided by Google in your dashboard
    'analytics_anonymize_ip': False,
    'logo_only': False,
    'display_version': True,
    'prev_next_buttons_location': 'bottom',
    'style_external_links': False,
    'vcs_pageview_mode': '',
    'style_nav_header_background': 'white',
    # Toc options
    'collapse_navigation': True,
    'sticky_navigation': True,
    'navigation_depth': 4,
    'includehidden': True,
    'titles_only': False
}

Table of contents options

The following options change how toctree directives generate documentation navigation.

collapse_navigation

With this enabled, navigation entries are not expandable – the [+] icons next to each entry are removed.

Type: boolean
Default: True

备注

Setting collapse_navigation to False and using a high value for navigation_depth on projects with many files and a deep file structure can cause long compilation times and can result in HTML files that are significantly larger in file size.

sticky_navigation

Scroll the navigation with the main page content as you scroll the page.

Type: boolean
Default: True

navigation_depth

The maximum depth of the table of contents tree. Set this to -1 to allow unlimited depth.

Type: integer
Default: 4

includehidden

Specifies if the navigation includes hidden table(s) of contents – that is, any toctree directive that is marked with the :hidden: option.

Type: boolean
Default: True

titles_only

When enabled, page subheadings are not included in the navigation.

Type: boolean
Default: False

Miscellaneous options

analytics_id

If specified, Google Analytics’ gtag.js is included in your pages. Set the value to the ID provided to you by google (like UA-XXXXXXX or G-XXXXXXXXXX).

Type: string

analytics_anonymize_ip

Anonymize visitor IP addresses in Google Analytics.

Type: boolean
Default: False

canonical_url

This will specify a canonical URL meta link element to tell search engines which URL should be ranked as the primary URL for your documentation. This is important if you have multiple URLs that your documentation is available through. The URL points to the root path of the documentation and requires a trailing slash.

Type: URL

0.6.0 版后已移除: Use html_baseurl instead.

display_version

If True, the version number is shown at the top of the sidebar.

Type: boolean
Default: True

logo_only

Only display the logo image, do not display the project name at the top of the sidebar

Type: boolean
Default: False

prev_next_buttons_location

Location to display Next and Previous buttons. This can be either bottom, top, both , or None.

Type: string
Default: bottom

style_external_links

Add an icon next to external links.

Type: boolean
Default: False

vcs_pageview_mode

Changes how to view files when using display_github, display_gitlab, etc. When using GitHub or GitLab this can be: blob (default), edit, or raw. On Bitbucket, this can be either: view (default) or edit.

Type: string
Default: blob or view

style_nav_header_background

Changes the background of the search area in the navigation bar. The value can be anything valid in a CSS background property.

Type: string
Default: #2980B9

File-wide metadata

The following options can be used as file-wide metadata:

github_url: Force the Edit on GitHub button to use the configured URL.

bitbucket_url: Force the Edit on Bitbucket button to use the configured URL.

gitlab_url: Force the Edit on GitLab button to use the configured URL.

Other configuration

Adding a logo

Using the Sphinx standard option html_logo, you can set an image file to be used as a logo at the top of the sidebar. The theme option logo_only also allows for only the logo to be shown at the top of the sidebar.

Adding custom CSS or Javascript

Adding custom CSS or Javascript can help you alter the look and feel of this theme without forking the theme for local use.

In order to add custom CSS or Javascript without disrupting the existing theme files, you can add files to be included in your documentation output.

How the table of contents displays

Currently the left menu will build based upon any toctree directives defined in your source files. It outputs 4 levels of depth by default, to allow for quick navigation through topics. If no TOC trees are defined, Sphinx’s default behavior is to use the page headings instead.

It’s important to note that if you don’t follow the same styling for your reST headings across your documents, the TOC tree will build incorrectly, and the resulting menu might not show the correct depth when it renders.

Also note that by default the table of contents is set with includehidden=True. This allows you to set a hidden TOC in your index file with the :hidden: property that will allow you to build a TOC without it rendering in your index.

By default, the navigation will “stick” to the screen as you scroll. However if your TOC is not tall enough, it will revert to static positioning. To disable the sticky navigation altogether, change the sticky_navigation theme option.
