* Cherry-pick: Add support for booktabs-style tables to LaTeX builder
* Cherry-pick: Add support for zebra-striped tables to LaTeX builder
Co-authored-by: Stefan Wiehler <stefan.wiehler@missinglinkelectronics.com>
Above work originally initiated by @sephalon (thanks!)
Development refactored and continued by @jfbu
* latex_table_style configuration, support booktabs, colorrows, borderless
Some details:
- Simplify a bit a conditional in the longtable template
This also puts the target for a longtable with a label but no caption
above the toprule for better hyperlinking (testing shows hyperlink
target can not end up alone at bottom of previous page).
- Extend allowed syntax for colour assignments via 'sphinxsetup'
- latex_table_style new configuration value and coloured rows
For the user interface I tried to look for inspiration in
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/config.html#table-style
which mentions booktabs and borderless. They also mention
captionbelow which we can implement later, now that architecture
is here. They don't mention coloured rows.
- Test on our own document... looks fine!
- Work-around an incompatibility of \cline with row colours
- Reverse priority of classes to allow overruling booktabs by standard
after parsing source but before letting LaTeX writer act
- Closes#8220
Commit
bb859c6696
already improved a bit, this finishes it (as :rst:dir:`rst-class` was
actually not linking to anywhere).
- Let booktabs style defaults to *not* using \cmidrule. They actually
don't make much sense there, as all \hline's are removed.
- Add \sphinxnorowcolor which allows construct such as this one in
a tabularcolumns directive:
>{\columncolor{blue}\sphinxnorowcolor}
else LaTeX always overrides column colour by row colour
- Add TableMergeColorHeader, TableMergeColorOdd, TableMergeColorEven
so single-row merged cells can be styled especially
- Extend row colours to all header rows not only the first one
(all header rows will share same colour settings)
- Auto-adjust to a no '|'-colspec for optimal handling of merged cell
- Add \sphinxcolorblend
- Workaround LaTeX's \cline features and other grid tables matters
- Add \sphinxbuildwarning for important warnings
- Fix some white gaps in merged cells of tables with vlines and
colorrows
- Work around LaTeX's \cline serious deficiencies for complex grid
tables
This commit corrects \cline badly impacting vertical spacing and
making tables look even more cramped as they usually are in LaTeX
(although one sees it clearly only with \arrarrulewidth a bit more
than the LaTeX default of 0.4pt).
Most importantly this commit solves the problem that \cline's got
masked by colour panels from the row below.
- Update CHANGES for PR #10759
- Improve documentation of new latex_table_style regarding colours
Fix#10188
Footnotes in some LaTeX environments (tables, fulllineitems for object
descriptions) are gathered and appear after the environment, causing the
footnote to possibly appear on a page later than some of the footnote
marks referring it.
With this commit, the footnote mark compares page numbers and
incorporates the destination page number if it turns out to be distinct
from the page where it stands.
Named auto numbered footnote (ex. ``[#named]``) that is referred
multiple times was rendered to a question mark.
This calls `\sphinxstepexplicit` for every footnote node that is
referred multiple times.
To describe the purpose more accurately, the `master_doc` is now renamed
to `root_doc`. The old name is still available. But it is recommeneded
to use new one from now on.
Resolved Conflicts:
sphinx/texinputs/sphinx.sty
Some hunks needed to go to sphinx/texinputs/sphinxlatexliterals.py,
others already belonged to split files.
To achieve this the simplest was to use also the \label/\ref mechanism
as for footnotes typeset using footnotetext. Removing the hack into
footnotehyper internal macro, we use an enriched scope, which will
enable references with same number to each generate correct links.
This replaces times package with tgtermes and tgheros (clones of Times and
Helvetica with better LaTeX support) and the monospace font from txfonts
package (txtt). This font is better matched with Times-like fonts than
Courier clones.
The changes applies to pdflatex/platex/uplatex.
Fixes: #8711
Since v2.3, Sphinx supports uplatex as an alternative of latex_engine for Japanese
docs (refs: #4186, #6841). uplatex is able to build a document without conversion
character encoding internally. It allows using unicode characters in documents.
Additionally, uplatex is compatible with platex (current default latex_engine for
Japanese docs).
This changes the default latex_engine for Japanese document to uplatex.
