sphinx-tabs-selector 1.0.10

It is used to extract the specified tabs content from the RST (reStructuredText) document.

sphinx_tabs_selector

This plugin is created based on the sphinx_tabs plugin and supports all formats supported by sphinx_tabs v3.4.7.

Features

1. Supports all formats supported by sphinx_tabs with v3.4.7.
2. Supports showing tabs in switching mode or flat mode.
3. Supports Unix glob pattern for tabs_include and tabs_exclude configuration. You can use Unix glob pattern to select multiple tabs. For example:
   • tabs_include = ["tab1_*", "tab2_*", "tab3_*"] will select all tabs that start with tab1_, tab2_, tab3_.
   • tabs_exclude = ["tab4_*", "tab5_*", "tab6_*"] to exclude all tabs that start with tab4_, tab5_, tab6_.
4. When tabs_flat is set to True, and builder is latex, the tabs will be displayed in flat mode, and pdf will show the tab with blue,bold tab name and the tab contents will be surrounded by a box. The non-nested tabs are displayed very well. But the nested tabs are displayed not very well.

Installation

pip install sphinx-tabs-selector

Usage

Add the following configuration to conf.py:

extensions = [
    ...
    'sphinx_tabs_selector.selector',
    ...
]

# tabs_include is used to configure the tabs to be selected. Support Unix glob pattern.
# The configuration item is a list. Each element in the list is a string, which is the name of the tab to be selected. 
# If the tab is nested, you need to write down all the names of the tabs in the nesting path.
tabs_include = ["tab1_name", "tab2_name", "tab3_*"]

# tabs_exclude is used to configure the tabs to be skipped. Support Unix glob pattern.
# The configuration item is a list. Each element in the list is a string, which is the name of the tab to be skipped.
tabs_exclude = ["tab4_name", "tab5_name", "tab6_*"]

# default is False. If True, the tabs will be displayed in flat mode. Otherwise, the tabs will be displayed in switching mode.
tabs_flat = True

For the way of writing tabs in RST files, you can refer to the documentation of the sphinx_tabs plugin. Thanks for the author of the sphinx_tabs plugin.

Notes

1. If you want to use this plugin. You must add the tabs_include or tabs_exclude configuration to conf.py; Otherwise, the plugin will not take effect. Therefore, you can use the tabs_include or tabs_excludeconfiguration to control the activation of the plugin.
   • If any of the tabs_include or tabs_exclude configuration is added, the plugin will be activated.
   • If either of the tabs_include or tabs_exclude configuration is not added, the plugin will not be activated.
   • If only tabs_include is added, the plugin will only select the tabs in the tabs_include configuration.
   • If only tabs_exclude is added, the plugin will select all tabs except the tabs in the tabs_exclude configuration.
   • If both tabs_include and tabs_exclude are added, the plugin will select the tabs in the tabs_include configuration, and exclude the tabs in the tabs_exclude configuration. But excluding takes precedence over selecting.
2. You need add the tabs_flat configuration to conf.py to control the display mode of the tabs.
   • If the tabs_flat configuration is not added, the tabs will be displayed in switching mode.
   • If the tabs_flat configuration is added and set to True, the tabs will be displayed in flat mode.
   • If the tabs_flat configuration is added and set to False, the tabs will be displayed in switching mode.
3. If both the sphinx_tabs plugin and the sphinx_tabs_selector plugin are added to the extensions in conf.py, for the sphinx_tabs_selector plugin to work, it must be added after sphinx_tabs.
4. The sphinx_tabs_selector plugin can be used independently even if the sphinx_tabs plugin is not added to conf.py.
5. If only set the sphinx_tabs_selector plugin in conf.py and not set the sphinx_tabs plugin, and tabs_flat is set to False or not set, and not set the tabs_include or tabs_exclude configuration, the plugin will work as the sphinx_tabs plugin with v3.4.7.
