Adaptation of mkdocs-material theme for the Sphinx documentation system

Project description

MIT License PyPI Package CI status

This theme is an adaptation of the popular mkdocs-material theme for the Sphinx documentation tool.

This theme is regularly maintained to stay up to date with the upstream mkdocs-material repository. The HTML templates, JavaScript, and styles from the mkdocs-material theme are incoroprated directly with mostly minor modifications.

This theme is a fork of the sphinx-material theme, which proved the concept of a Sphinx theme based on an earlier version of the mkdocs-material theme, but has now significantly diverged from the upstream mkdocs-material repository.

See the TensorStore documentation for a demonstration of this theme.

WARNING: This theme is currently still a work in progress. The documentation is largely copied from sphinx-material and is inaccurate for this version. It does not yet integrate well with numpydoc or the built-in autosummary.

Installation

Install via pip:

$ pip install sphinx-immaterial

or if you have the code checked out locally:

$ pip -install -e .

Configuration

In your conf.py add sphinx_immaterial as an extension:

extensions = [
    ...,
    "sphinx_immaterial"
]

and add the following:

html_theme = 'sphinx_immaterial'

to set the theme.

Customizing the layout

You can customize the theme by overriding Jinja template blocks. For example, ‘layout.html’ contains several blocks that can be overridden or extended.

Place a ‘layout.html’ file in your project’s ‘/_templates’ directory.

mkdir source/_templates
touch source/_templates/layout.html

Then, configure your ‘conf.py’:

templates_path = ['_templates']

Finally, edit your override file ‘source/_templates/layout.html’:

{# Import the theme's layout. #}
{% extends '!layout.html' %}

{%- block extrahead %}
{# Add custom things to the head HTML tag #}
{# Call the parent block #}
{{ super() }}
{%- endblock %}

Differences from mkdocs-material

This theme closely follows the upstream mkdocs-material repository, but there are a few differences, primarily due to differences between Sphinx and MkDocs:

  • This theme adds styles for Sphinx object descriptions, commonly used for API documentation (e.g. class and function documentation). This is a core element of Sphinx for which there is no corresponding feature in MkDocs.

  • mkdocs-material uses lunr.js for searching, and has custom UI components for displaying search results in a drop-down menu as you type the search query. This theme uses a separate search implementation based on the custom index format used by Sphinx, which fully integrates with the search UI provided by mkdocs-material.
