The Cloud Sphinx Theme

Caution

2020-05-01: This project has moved to Heptapod!

Due to BitBucket deprecating Mercurial support, this package’s public repository and issue tracker has been relocated. It’s now located at https://foss.heptapod.net/doc-utils/cloud_sptheme, and is powered by Heptapod. Hosting is being graciously provided by the people at Octobus and CleverCloud!

This is release 1.10.1 of a small Python package named cloud_sptheme. It contains a Sphinx theme named “Cloud”, and some related Sphinx extensions. Cloud and its extensions are primarily oriented towards generating html documentation for Python libraries. It provides numerous small enhancements to make the html documentation html more interactive, improve the layout on mobile devices, and other enhancements.
