esnet-gh-pages-base
===================

Sphinx_ documentation package using the sphinx-bootstrap-theme_ with some
pages. This repo is meant to be included into a project using git subtree and
provides the overrides and customizations to the base theme.

7. ``ln -s ../_esnet/static _static/esnet``
8. edit ``conf.py`` as described in the next section
Editing conf.py
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
``sphinx-quickstart`` creates a basic conf.py file, however to use the ESnet
theme we need to make some changes. Make the following changes to conf.py::
# add this with the imports at the top of the file
import sphinx_bootstrap_theme
# change templates_path to this
templates_path = ['_esnet/templates']
# add _esnet to exclude_patterns
exclude_patterns = ['_build', '_esnet']
# change html_theme and html_theme_path:
html_theme = 'bootstrap'
html_theme_path = sphinx_bootstrap_theme.get_html_theme_path()
# add html_theme options:
html_theme_options = {
"navbar_pagenav": False,
"nosidebar": False,
"navbar_class": "navbar",
"navbar_site_name": "Section",
"source_link_position": "footer",
"navbar_links": [
("Index", "genindex"),
("ESnet", "https://www.es.net", True),
],
}
# add html_logo and html_sidebars
html_logo = "_esnet/static/logo-esnet-ball-sm.png"
html_sidebars = {'index': None, 'search': None, '*': ['localtoc.html']}
html_favicon = "_esnet/static/favicon.ico"
html_context = {
"github_url": "https://github.com/esnet/PROJNAME",
}
That's it!
