sphinxcontrib-pseudocode 0.3.0

Use pseudocode.js natively in yours Sphinx powered docs

sphinxcontrib-pseudocode

This is a sphinx-doc extension that allows you to write LaTeX algorithm directly inside sphinx-doc. The rendering of LaTex algorithm is powered by pseudocode.js.

Demo

You can directly type LaTeX algorithm (e.g., quicksort algorithm taken from pseudocode.js demo) under pcode directive in any .rst files as follows:

.. pcode::
   :linenos:

    % This quicksort algorithm is extracted from Chapter 7, Introduction to Algorithms (3rd edition)
    \begin{algorithm}
    \caption{Quicksort}
    \begin{algorithmic}
    \PROCEDURE{Quicksort}{$A, p, r$}
        \IF{$p < r$}
            \STATE $q = $ \CALL{Partition}{$A, p, r$}
            \STATE \CALL{Quicksort}{$A, p, q - 1$}
            \STATE \CALL{Quicksort}{$A, q + 1, r$}
        \ENDIF
    \ENDPROCEDURE
    \PROCEDURE{Partition}{$A, p, r$}
        \STATE $x = A[r]$
        \STATE $i = p - 1$
        \FOR{$j = p$ \TO $r - 1$}
            \IF{$A[j] < x$}
                \STATE $i = i + 1$
                \STATE exchange
                $A[i]$ with     $A[j]$
            \ENDIF
            \STATE exchange $A[i]$ with $A[r]$
        \ENDFOR
    \ENDPROCEDURE
    \end{algorithmic}
    \end{algorithm}

The above code will be rendered as

See more examples on demo page.

Installation and Configuration

Install the package via

$ pip install sphinxcontrib-pseudocode

Then in the Sphinx-doc conf.py, add

extensions = [
    'sphinxcontrib.pseudocode'
]

Usage

Write LaTeX algorithm within pcode directive as shown above. The following option is supported:

• linenos (LineNumber in pseudocode.js: Whether line numbering is enabled)
