sphinx-jinja 1.0.0

sphinx-jinja

A sphinx extension to include jinja based templates based documentation into a sphinx doc

Usage

In your rst doc, you can use the following snippet to use a jinja template to generate your doc

.. jinja:: first_ctx

    {% for k, v in topics.items() %}

    {{k}}
    ~~~~~
    {{v}}
    {% endfor %}

In your sphinx conf.py file, you can create or load the contexts needed for your jinja templates

extensions = ['sphinxcontrib.jinja']

jinja_contexts = {
    'first_ctx': {'topics': {'a': 'b', 'c': 'd'}}
}

Available options

• file: allow to specify a path to Jinja instead of writing it into the content of the directive. Path is relative to the current directory of sphinx-build tool, typically the directory where the conf.py file is located.

• header_char: character to use for the the headers. You can use it in your template to set your

  own title character:

  For example:

  Title
  {{ options.header_char * 5 }}

Example of declaration in your RST file:

.. jinja:: approval_checks_api
   :file: relative/path/to/template.jinja
   :header_char: -

Each element of the jinja_contexts dictionary is a context dict for use in your jinja templates.
