It is useful to have the HTML documentation builder actually link to
real rendered versions of HTML manpages in its output. That way people
can click on manpages to get the full documentation. There are a few
services offering this online, so we do not explicitly enable one by
default, but the Debian manpages repository has a lot of the manpages
pre-rendered, so it is used as an example in the documentation.
The parsing work is done by a transformer class that parses manpage
objects and extract name/section elements. Those then can be used by
writers to cross-reference to actual sites. An implementation is done
in the two HTML writers, but could also apply to ePUB/PDF writers as
well in the future.
This is not enabled by default: the `manpages_url` configuration item
needs to be enabled to point to the chosen site. The `page`, `section`
and `path` parameters are expanded through Python string formatting in
the URL on output.
Unit tests are fairly limited, but should cover most common use-cases.
- allow multi-paragraph contents in grid table merged cells
- allow code-blocks in merged cells
- allow generally speaking reST contents allowed in regular
cells to be also allowed in merged cells, whether multirow,
multicolumn, or both.
This is made possible by custom LaTeX macros replacing original
``\multicolumn`` and ``\multirow`` (none of the originals allows
verbatim contents as is needed for code-blocks). They are defined in
bundled LaTeX style file sphinxmulticell.sty. The multicolumn merged
cells give much better results with tabulary as it is coerced into
taking them into account in its automatic width algorithm.
This deprecates use of LaTeX packages eqparbox and multirow, which are
not needed anymore.
New config setting ``latex_use_latex_multicolumn`` (default value False,
currently) as custom Sphinx multicolumn is not fully compatible will all
types of custom table col specs which may be inserted via tabularcolumns
directive. It works best with standard ``|`` column separator.
The default tabulary column specifier has been changed from L
(flushleft) to J (justifying). Internally the column type is called T,
so ``r'\newcolumntype{T}{L}'`` in preamble key recovers the former
behaviour. A ``\Y`` column type is defined which admits one decimal
argument in place of the two integers for ``\X``.
This reverts commit 839e924808.
Indeed, it is better not to document how to use ``lines`` with
``start-after`` now if this is to be changed at next major release (refs
I'm not sure the best way to do the unit tests. A little confused. So
help would be appreciated :)
Add the ability to reverse the list of entries when using 'toctree'.
This is likely most useful for people using the 'glob' flag option with
'toctree'
