rinohtype 0.1.3

Command-line reStructuredText renderer

The easiest way to get started with RinohType is to render a reStructuredText document (such as demo.txt) using the rinoh command line tool:

rinoh demo.txt

When the script finishes, you will find demo.pdf alongside the input file.

rinoh renders the input document using the article template. You can specify the paper size using the --paper command line argument.

Sphinx Builder

To use RinohType to render Sphinx documents, you need to adjust the Sphinx project’s conf.py:

1. add rinoh.frontend.sphinx to the extensions list, and

2. set the rinoh_documents configuration option:

   rinoh_documents = [('index',          # top-level rst file (index.rst)
                       'target',         # output (sphinx.pdf)
                       'Document Title,  # document title
                       'Author')]        # document author

3. now we can select the rinoh builder when building the documentation:

   sphinx-build -b rinoh . _build/rinoh
