quark-sphinx-theme 0.6.0

A Sphinx theme designed for QTextBrowser

Quark: a Sphinx theme for QTextBrowser

Quark is a Sphinx theme specifically designed to look and work well within the limitations of the Qt toolkit's QTextBrowser.

This theme was originally designed for the bundled manual of SpeedCrunch.

Installation

• Install the theme:

  $ pip install quark-sphinx-theme
  

• Enable it in your conf.py

  html_theme = 'quark'
  # generate QTextBrowser-compatible HTML4 instead of something newer
  html4_writer = True
  

• Optional: enable improved design for some elements by rewriting HTML:

  # To enable more QTextBrowser-compatible HTML generation:
  extensions = ['quark_sphinx_theme.ext.html_rewrite']

  • Sphinx 1.6 compatibility:
    • A change in Sphinx's HTML code broke the HTML rewriting extensions (see issue #1).
    • A change in the css_files variable in the basic theme's template broke the extra_css_files theme setting.

  • Fix python_requires in setup.py.
• quark-sphinx-theme 0.4 (2016-10-18)

  • The quark_sphinx_theme.ext.html_compat extension has been renamed to quark_sphinx_theme.ext.html_rewrite. The old name remains supported for backwards compatibility.
  • The html_rewrite extension now supports wrapping admonitions in tables, allowing for more styling options. The theme has been updated to take advantage of this. Admonitions, topics, and sidebars look very different and much better. If html_rewrite is not enabled, a fallback style will be used for these.
  • html_rewrite supports wrapping literal blocks in tables. If enabled, this provides better styling for Pygments styles with non-white backgrounds.

    • Don't use background color on code elements in headings and normal links.
