Cylc Sphinx Extensions

A library of Sphinx extensions for documenting Cylc projects.

Installation

Install all extensions (but not dependencies):

$ pip install cylc-sphinx-extensions

OR all extensions + dependencies for specified extension(s) by name:

$ pip install cylc-sphinx-extensions.git[cylc_lang]

OR all extensions + dependencies for all extensions:

$ pip install cylc-sphinx-extensions.git[all]

Note the minicylc extension requires graphviz:

# install graphviz from your package manager e.g:
$ sudo apt-get install -y graphviz

Usage

To use an extension register it in your project's conf.py e.g:

extension = [
    'cylc.sphinx_ext.cylc_lang'
]

Some of these extensions are "auto-loading" and do not require any extra steps to activate.

If the html_static_path configuration is set in your conf.py you will need to move this into a setup function, otherwise extensions cannot append to this path to add their own static resources e.g:

def setup(app):
    app.config.html_static_path.append('_static')

Development

Fork and clone https://github.com/cylc/cylc-sphinx-extensions.git.

Extensions are auto-documented from their module docstrings.

Build documentation by running:

$ make clean <format>  # e.g. make html slides

This documentation build serves as a simple test battery (warnings will cause it to fail), for everything else there's pytest:

$ pytest

For code linting:

$ pycodestyle .  # python
$ eslint cylc/   # javascript
