Installation de Sphinx, générateur de documentation libre

Installation de Sphinx, générateur de documentation libre

Sphinx est un générateur de documentation libre. Il a été développé par Georg Brandl pour la communauté Python en 2008, et est le générateur de la documentation officielle de projets tels que Python, Django, Selenium, Urwid, ou encore Bazaar.

–> C’est du lourd ! 🙂

Installation de Sphinx :

Vous vous rendez dans le répertoire de votre installation Python où se trouve l’exécutable python.exe. Pour moi, C:\Python34. Vous cliquez droit dans ce répertoire en maintenant la touche Majuscule enfoncée et vous choisissez dans le menu contextuel « Ouvrir une fenêtre de commande ici ».

Vous tapez pip install -U sphinx
Si vous voulez installer la version beta : pip install -U –pre sphinx

Pour avoir eu une mauvaise expérience d’installation sur un PC (modules non installés et lignes rouges dans CMD), j’ai recommencé celle-ci en ouvrant la console CMD en administrateur ! A ce moment-là, tout s’est bien passé ! 🙂 

C:\Python34>pip install -U sphinx

C:\Python34\Scripts>sphinx-quickstart C:\Sphinx_projet
Welcome to the Sphinx 1.7.0 quickstart utility.

Please enter values for the following settings (just press Enter to
accept a default value, if one is given in brackets).

Selected root path: C:\Sphinx_projet

You have two options for placing the build directory for Sphinx output.
Either, you use a directory "_build" within the root path, or you separate
"source" and "build" directories within the root path.
> Separate source and build directories (y/n) [n]: y

Inside the root directory, two more directories will be created; "_templates"
for custom HTML templates and "_static" for custom stylesheets and other static
files. You can enter another prefix (such as ".") to replace the underscore.
> Name prefix for templates and static dir [_]:

The project name will occur in several places in the built documentation.
> Project name: Sphinx Documentation
> Author name(s): Fabrice Dumont
> Project release []: 1.0.0

If the documents are to be written in a language other than English,
you can select a language here by its language code. Sphinx will then
translate text that it generates into that language.

For a list of supported codes, see
http://sphinx-doc.org/config.html#confval-language.
> Project language [en]: fr

The file name suffix for source files. Commonly, this is either ".txt"
or ".rst".  Only files with this suffix are considered documents.
> Source file suffix [.rst]:

One document is special in that it is considered the top node of the
"contents tree", that is, it is the root of the hierarchical structure
of the documents. Normally, this is "index", but if your "index"
document is a custom template, you can also set this to another filename.
> Name of your master document (without suffix) [index]:

Sphinx can also add configuration for epub output:
> Do you want to use the epub builder (y/n) [n]: y
Indicate which of the following Sphinx extensions should be enabled:
> autodoc: automatically insert docstrings from modules (y/n) [n]: y
> doctest: automatically test code snippets in doctest blocks (y/n) [n]: y
> intersphinx: link between Sphinx documentation of different projects (y/n) [n]: y
> todo: write "todo" entries that can be shown or hidden on build (y/n) [n]: y
> coverage: checks for documentation coverage (y/n) [n]: y
> imgmath: include math, rendered as PNG or SVG images (y/n) [n]: y
> mathjax: include math, rendered in the browser by MathJax (y/n) [n]: y
> ifconfig: conditional inclusion of content based on config values (y/n) [n]: y
> viewcode: include links to the source code of documented Python objects (y/n) [n]: y
> githubpages: create .nojekyll file to publish the document on GitHub pages (y/n) [n]: y
Note: imgmath and mathjax cannot be enabled at the same time. imgmath has been deselected.

A Makefile and a Windows command file can be generated for you so that you
only have to run e.g. `make html' instead of invoking sphinx-build
directly.
> Create Makefile? (y/n) [y]: y
> Create Windows command file? (y/n) [y]: y

Creating file C:\Sphinx_projet\source\conf.py.
Creating file C:\Sphinx_projet\source\index.rst.
Creating file C:\Sphinx_projet\Makefile.
Creating file C:\Sphinx_projet\make.bat.

Finished: An initial directory structure has been created.

You should now populate your master file C:\Sphinx_projet\source\index.rst and create other documentation
source files. Use the Makefile to build the docs, like so:
   make builder
where "builder" is one of the supported builders, e.g. html, latex or linkcheck.

J’y ai ajouté les phrases suivantes :

Hello, ceci est mon premier document généré avec Sphinx !

   You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least
   contain the root `toctree` directive.

Première page générée avec Sphinx dans mon navigateur internet :

Et voilà ! 🙂

Vous pouvez directement choisir un thème qui vous plaît parmi ceux qui sont intégrés à l’installation de Sphinx.

Vous ouvrez dans un éditeur de textes comme Notepad ++ le document conf.py présent dans C:\Sphinx_projet\source pour mon installation.

Vous repérez la ligne html_theme = ‘alabaster’. Et vous changer son nom ! N’oubliez pas d’enregistrer avant de générer votre document html ! 🙂

D’après la documentation en ligne, il y a 10 thèmes builtin :

html_theme = ‘alabaster’

html_theme = ‘classic’

html_theme = ‘sphinxdoc’

html_theme = ‘scrolls’

html_theme = ‘agogo’

html_theme = ‘traditional’

html_theme = ‘nature’

html_theme = ‘haiku’ (mon préféré !)

html_theme = ‘pyramid’

html_theme = ‘bizstyle’
