If you prefer to install the themes directly from the source:

Using the themes directly in your code or app

If you want to directly use the themes in your code, you can do so by importing the theme and passing it to the style argument of the HtmlFormatter class.

from pygments.formatters import HtmlFormatter
HtmlFormatter(style='a11y-light').style
<class 'accessible-pygments.A11yLight'>

Using the themes in your Sphinx documentation

1. You will need to add accessible-pygments as a dependency to your documentation:

   # for example if using a pyproject.toml file
   dependencies=["accessible-pygments"]
   

2. Modify your conf.py file to specify the accessible-pygments style:

   "pygments_style": "a11y-light"
   

3. Build your documentation as usual.
