DEPRECATED: Alabaster has a new maintainer. Once an almost-drop-in mobile-friendlier replacement for the default Sphinx theme Alabaster, now the less active one.

What is Alabester?

Alabaster with some CSS bugs squashed. See it live at introt docs.

How to use Alabester?

pip install alabester

After installation, just s/labaster/labester/g across your project, requirements included (if Alabaster was indirectly pulled by Sphinx, make sure to add Alabester to your list!) - the 0.7.x versions will try not to break compatibility.

However, it's not a drop-in replacement; due to Sphinx hard-coding some extra defaults for Alabaster, your sidebar might not look as expected without the following modification.

For the default Alabaster experience, put this in your conf.py:

html_sidebars = {
        '**': [
            'about.html',
            'navigation.html',
            'relations.html',
            'searchbox.html',
            'donate.html'
        ]
}

If you'd like to know more, check out eg. sphinx-doc/sphinx#5066. (I also wrote a debugging murder mystery on my bleg on 4/20).

Changelog

Available on GitHub.

For max combatibility, you can pin version 0.7.20. Upstream docs apply.

What is Alabaster?

Alabaster is a visually (c)lean, responsive, configurable theme for the Sphinx documentation system. It is Python 2+3 compatible.

It began as a third-party theme, and is still maintained separately, but as of Sphinx 1.3, Alabaster is an install-time dependency of Sphinx and is selected as the default theme.

Live examples of this theme can be seen on this project's own website, paramiko.org, fabfile.org and pyinvoke.org.

For more documentation, please see http://alabaster.readthedocs.io.

Note

You can install the development version via pip install -e git+https://github.com/bitprophet/alabaster/#egg=alabaster.
