A Sphinx theme for Qiskit and Qiskit Ecosystem projects
Project description
qiskit-sphinx-theme
The Sphinx theme for Qiskit ecosystem documentation.
Warning: new theme migration
In qiskit-sphinx-theme 1.14, we replaced the old qiskit_sphinx_theme
based on Pytorch with the new qiskit-ecosystem
theme based on Furo. The old theme was removed in qiskit-sphinx-theme 2.0.
See Migrate from old Pytorch theme to new theme for migration instructions.
Overview
This repository hosts three things:
qiskit-ecosystem
theme (located in thesrc/
folder)- example docs (located in the
example_docs/
folder) - Qiskit Docs Guide (located in the
docs_guide/
folder)
The qiskit-ecosystem
theme is used by projects in the Qiskit ecosystem.
The example docs are a minimal Sphinx project that is used for testing the Qiskit Sphinx Theme. Every pull request will trigger a GitHub workflow that builds the example docs to make sure the changes do not introduce unintended changes.
The Qiskit Docs Guide hosts instructions, guidelines and recommendations of good documentation practices. Its intent is to help Qiskit maintainers improve the documentation of their projects. The guide is hosted online here: https://qisk.it/docs-guide.
Installation
This package is available on PyPI using:
pip install qiskit-sphinx-theme
Then, set up the theme by updating conf.py
:
- Set
html_theme = "qiskit-ecosystem"
- Add
"qiskit_sphinx_theme"
toextensions
You also likely want to set html_title
in conf.py
. This results in the left sidebar having a more useful and concise name, along with the page title in the browser. Most projects will want to use this in their conf.py
:
# Sphinx expects you to set these already.
project = "My Project"
release = "4.12"
# This sets the title to e.g. `My Project 4.12`.
html_title = f"{project} {release}"
Enable translations
Refer to Sphinx's internationalization guide for how to build your documentation with different languages.
Once you have the translated documentation, you will need to start additionally deploying your docs to <project-prefix>/locale/<locale-code>/
, e.g. https://qiskit-community.github.io/qiskit-finance/locale/de_DE/index.html
.
Finally, update your conf.py
:
- Ensure that
qiskit_sphinx_theme
is in theextensions
setting. - Set the option
translations_list
to a list of pairs of the locale code and the language name, e.g.[..., ("de_DE", "German")]
. - Set the option
docs_url_prefix
to your project's URL prefix, likeqiskit-finance
.
For example:
extensions = [
...,
"qiskit_sphinx_theme",
]
translations_list = [
('en', 'English'),
('bn_BN', 'Bengali'),
('fr_FR', 'French'),
('de_DE', 'German'),
]
docs_url_prefix = "qiskit-finance"
Enable Previous Releases
This feature allows you to link to previous versions of the docs in the left sidebar.
First, start additionally deploying your docs to <project-prefix>/stable/<version>/
, e.g. https://qiskit-community.github.io/qiskit-experiments/stable/0.5/index.html
. See https://github.com/qiskit-community/qiskit-experiments/blob/7a0924c24549ab4f38819a86c0ac49214d819ba2/.github/workflows/docs_stable.yml#L25-L38 for an example.
Then, update your conf.py
:
- Ensure that
qiskit_sphinx_theme
is in theextensions
setting. - Add to the option
html_context
an entry forversion_list
with a list of the prior versions, e.g.["0.4", "0.5"]
.- Each of these versions must be deployed with the above
stable/<version>
URL scheme. - You can manually set this, or some projects write a Sphinx extension to dynamically compute the value.
- You should only put prior versions in this list, not the current release.
- Each of these versions must be deployed with the above
- Set the option
docs_url_prefix
to your project's URL prefix, likeqiskit-experiments
.
For example:
extensions = [
...,
"qiskit_sphinx_theme",
]
html_context = {
"version_list": ["0.4", "0.5"],
}
docs_url_prefix = "qiskit-experiments"
Use custom RST directives
The qiskit_sphinx_theme
extension defines the below custom directives for you to use in RST, if you'd like. See example_docs/docs/sphinx_guide/custom_directives.rst
for examples of how to use them.
qiskit-card
qiskit-call-to-action-item
andqiskit-call-to-action-grid
Add a custom logo
You can add a custom logo by adding a logo file (SVG or PNG) as a sibling to your conf.py
, e.g. docs/logo.svg
. Then, set html_logo
in conf.py
to the name of the file, e.g. html_logo = "logo.png"
.
When using a custom logo, you may want to disable the project's name in the sidebar by setting sidebar_hide_name
in html_theme_options
in conf.py
:
html_theme_options = {
"sidebar_hide_name": True,
}
Qiskit ecosystem members
If your project is a member of the Qiskit ecosystem, we encourage you to set the following configuration so that the left sidebar mentions your project being in the ecosystem.
Update conf.py
:
html_theme_options = {
"sidebar_qiskit_ecosystem_member": True,
}
Non-ecosystem members should not set this option.
Tip: suggested site structure
To keep UX/UI similar across different Qiskit ecosystem packages, consider using the following structure for your sidebar, which can be set in the toctree of your index.rst
:
.. toctree::
:hidden:
Documentation Home <index>
Getting Started <getting_started>
Tutorials <tutorials/index>
How-to Guides <how_to/index>
API Reference <apidocs/index>
Explanations <explanations/index>
Release Notes <release_notes>
GitHub <https://github.com/your-repo>
Each item in the toctree corresponds to a single .rst
file, and can use internal links or external. External links will have a "new tab" icon rendered next to them.
