sphinx-datatables 1.0.0

Installation

pip install sphinx-datatables

Add the extension in your conf.py:

extensions = [
    "sphinxcontrib.jquery",
    "sphinx_datatables",
]

Usage

In your .rst documentation, create a table and add a custom class. The default class, sphinx-datatable, can be overriden in conf.py with the datatables_class option.

Each table must have a valid header row.

.. csv-table::
    :header: First Name,Last Name
    :class: sphinx-datatable

    John,Smith
    Jane,Doe

DataTables provides many options that can be configured globally in conf.py with datatables_options. You can also configure specific per-table (or tables) on any page that match a DOM selector with the directives.

See the documentation for more examples and details on per-table configuration.
