sphinxprettysearchresults 0.3.5

Installation

Run pip install sphinxprettysearchresults.

Configuration

After installing the extension, all you need to do is to register it.

Add sphinxprettysearchresults to the extensions array in your conf.py file, for example:

extensions = [
   'sphinxprettysearchresults'
]

After your next build, your project will no longer display raw markup in the search result excerpts.

Since version 1.5.0, Sphinx is adding the source file extension to the source files it includes in the output folder. For example, when your source file extension is rst (specified in the config variable source_suffix as [.rst], your index file appears in the output’s source folder as index.rst.txt. If you use a Sphinx version lower than 1.5.0, it appears as index.txt. Sphinx: pretty search results considers this difference and changes its behavior according to your Sphinx version. However, if you use a Sphinx theme that expects the old file names although you are using a later Sphinx version, you can fall back to the old file names by setting the following configuration variable:

use_old_search_snippets = True

Source links

By default Sphinx copies the source files into the build’s _sources directory and uses it for both search snippets and - if activated - source links. Sphinx: pretty search results uses the _sources directory for the prettified text snippets and moves the raw sources (for the source links) into its own _raw_sources directory. On build time, it overwrites the sourcelink.html template to reference the files in _raw_sources. If you want to use the extension with a custom source link, you need to adjust it to point to _raw_sources instead of _sources.

Testing

Sphinx: pretty search results uses nose as its test framework.

To run the tests, you first need to install the dev dependencies:

pip install -r dev_requirements.txt

Then, navigate to the tests directory and run:

python run.py
