Documentation with live preview

1. In one terminal, build the CSS in watch mode

   npm run build:watch
   

2. In a separate terminal, install the Sphinx theme then start the docs development server:

   pip install -e .
   sphinx-autobuild -a docs docs/_build/html --watch iati_sphinx_theme/
   

Testing a local version of the theme against another project

To run a local version of the theme with another project, e.g. my-docs, take the following steps:

1. Clone the sphinx-theme repository, and checkout the branch or tag you want to use.

2. Run the following command in the sphinx-theme directory, to build the CSS for the theme.

   npm run build
   

3. Go to my-docs directory, and install the Sphinx theme

   pip install -e /path/to/sphinx-theme
   

4. Set the html_theme option in your conf.py

   html_theme = "iati_sphinx_theme"

5. Start the docs development server:

   pip install sphinx-autobuild
   sphinx-autobuild docs docs/_build/html
   

Translation

Follow the steps below to translate the theme's built-in strings from the HTML templates in the iati_sphinx_theme directory. The message catalog name is sphinx.[pot|po|mo] and is found in the iati_sphinx_theme/locale directory. These are bundled with the published theme in order for consumers to have access to the translations.

A Makefile exists to make running the commands easier:

1. Extract text into .pot files

   make extract
   

2. Update existing .po files based on .pot files

   make update
   

3. Optionally, initialise a .po file for a new language

   make init lang=es
   

4. Add translations to the .po files

5. Compile to .mo files (only applies to the theme's built-in strings, so that they can be bundled with the theme)

   make compile
