Personalização de LaTeX

Ao contrário dos construtores HTML, o construtor latex não se beneficia de temas preparados. As Opções para saída LaTeX, e particularmente a variável latex_elements, fornece grande parte da interface para personalização. Por exemplo:

# inside conf.py
latex_engine = 'xelatex'
latex_elements = {
    'passoptionstopackages': r'''
\PassOptionsToPackage{svgnames}{xcolor}
''',
    'fontpkg': r'''
\setmainfont{DejaVu Serif}
\setsansfont{DejaVu Sans}
\setmonofont{DejaVu Sans Mono}
''',
    'preamble': r'''
\usepackage[titles]{tocloft}
\cftsetpnumwidth {1.25cm}\cftsetrmarg{1.5cm}
\setlength{\cftchapnumwidth}{0.75cm}
\setlength{\cftsecindent}{\cftchapnumwidth}
\setlength{\cftsecnumwidth}{1.25cm}
''',
    'sphinxsetup': 'TitleColor=DarkGoldenrod',
    'fncychap': r'\usepackage[Bjornstrup]{fncychap}',
    'printindex': r'\footnotesize\raggedright\printindex',
}
latex_show_urls = 'footnote'

Nota

Tenha em mente que as barras invertidas devem ser duplicadas em literais de string Python para evitar interpretação como sequências de escape. Alternativamente, você pode usar strings brutas como feito acima.

A definição da configuração latex_elements

Um dicionário que contém trechos de LaTeX substituindo aqueles que o Sphinx geralmente coloca nos arquivos .tex gerados. Sua chave 'sphinxsetup' é descrita separadamente. Permite também configurações locais inseridas nos arquivos gerados, via diretivas raw. Por exemplo, na documentação em PDF este capítulo tem um estilo especial, como será descrito mais adiante.

Chaves que você pode querer substituir incluem:

'papersize'

Opção de tamanho papel para a classe de documento ('a4paper' ou 'letterpaper')

Padrão: 'letterpaper'

'pointsize'

Opção de tamanho de pontos para a classe de documento ('10pt', '11pt' ou '12pt')

Padrão: '10pt'

'pxunit'

O valor de px quando usado nos atributos de imagem width e height. O valor padrão é '0.75bp' que alcança 96px=1in (em TeX 1in = 72bp = 72.27pt.) Para obter, por exemplo, 100px=1in, use '0.01in' ou '0.7227pt' (este último leva ao TeX calcular um valor mais preciso, devido à unidade menor usada na especificação); para 72px=1in, simplesmente use '1bp'; para 90px=1in, use '0.8bp' ou '0.803pt'.

Padrão: '0.75bp'

Adicionado na versão 1.5.

'passoptionstopackages'

A string which will be positioned early in the preamble, designed to contain \PassOptionsToPackage{options}{foo} commands.

Dica

Também pode ser usado para carregar pacotes LaTeX bem no início do preâmbulo. Por exemplo o pacote fancybox é incompatível com ser carregado através da chave 'preamble', ele deve ser carregado antes.

Padrão: ''

Adicionado na versão 1.4.

'babel'

“babel” package inclusion, default r'\usepackage{babel}' (the suitable document language string is passed as class option, and english is used if no language.) For Japanese documents, the default is the empty string.

Com XeLaTeX e LuaLaTeX, o Sphinx configura o documento LaTeX para usar polyglossia, mas deve-se estar ciente de que o atual babel melhorou seu suporte para mecanismos Unicode nos últimos anos e para algumas linguagens pode fazer sentido preferir babel sobre polyglossia.

Dica

Depois de modificar uma chave principal do LaTeX como esta, limpe o repertório de construção do LaTeX antes da próxima construção de PDF, caso contrário, os arquivos auxiliares restantes provavelmente quebrarão a construção.

Default: r'\usepackage{babel}' (for Japanese documents)

Alterado na versão 1.5: Para latex_engine configurar para 'xelatex', o padrão é '\\usepackage{polyglossia}\n\\setmainlanguage{<language>}'.

Alterado na versão 1.6: 'lualatex' usa o mesmo padrão de 'xelatex'

Alterado na versão 1.7.6: For French with 'xelatex' (not 'lualatex') the default is to use babel, not polyglossia.

Alterado na versão 7.4.0: For French with 'lualatex' the default is to use babel.

'fontpkg'

Font package inclusion. The default with 'pdflatex' is:

r"""\usepackage{tgtermes}
\usepackage{tgheros}
\renewcommand\ttdefault{txtt}
"""

For 'xelatex' and 'lualatex' on the other hand the \setmainfont, \setsansfont and \setmonofont commands of LaTeX package fontspec (included via 'fontenc') are used to set up the OpenType fonts GNU FreeSerif, FreeSans, and FreeMono (scaled with ratio 0.9) as document fonts.

Alterado na versão 1.2: O padrão é '' quando language usa script Cirílico.

Alterado na versão 2.0: Incorporates some font substitution commands to help support occasional Greek or Cyrillic in a document using 'pdflatex' engine. At 4.0.0 these commands were moved to the 'fontsubstitution' key.

Alterado na versão 4.0.0: The default font setting was changed. As shown above it still uses Times and Helvetica clones for serif and sans serif, but via better, more complete TeX fonts and associated LaTeX packages. The monospace font has been changed to better match the Times clone.

Alterado na versão 8.1.0: The monospace font FreeMono used with Unicode engines is loaded at scale 0.9. This replaces the former mechanism via 'fvset' which configured code-blocks to use \small. Inline literals now fit better in their surrounding text, and it is easier to set up custom fonts, as 'fvset' does not intervene anymore by default.

'fncychap'

Inclusion of the “fncychap” package (which makes fancy chapter titles), default r'\usepackage[Bjarne]{fncychap}' for English documentation (this option is slightly customized by Sphinx), r'\usepackage[Sonny]{fncychap}' for internationalized docs (because the “Bjarne” style uses numbers spelled out in English). Other “fncychap” styles you can try are “Lenny”, “Glenn”, “Conny”, “Rejne” and “Bjornstrup”. You can also set this to '' to disable fncychap.

Default: r'\usepackage[Bjarne]{fncychap}' for English documents, r'\usepackage[Sonny]{fncychap}' for internationalized documents, and '' for Japanese documents.

'preamble'

Conteúdo adicional do preâmbulo. Pode-se mover todas as macros necessárias para algum arquivo mystyle.tex.txt do repertório fonte do projeto, e fazer com que o LaTeX importe-o em tempo de execução:

'preamble': r'\input{mystyle.tex.txt}',
# or, if the \ProvidesPackage LaTeX macro is used in a file mystyle.sty
'preamble': r'\usepackage{mystyle}',

É então necessário definir adequadamente latex_additional_files, por exemplo:

latex_additional_files = ["mystyle.sty"]

Não use .tex como sufixo, caso contrário o arquivo será submetido ao processo de construção do PDF, use .tex.txt ou .sty como nos exemplos acima.

Padrão: ''

'figure_align'

Alinhamento de flutuador de figura de latex. Sempre que uma imagem não couber na página atual, ela será ‘flutuada’ na página seguinte, mas poderá ser precedida por qualquer outro texto. Se você não gosta deste comportamento, use ‘H’ que desabilitará a flutuação e posicionará as figuras estritamente na ordem em que aparecem na fonte.

Padrão: 'htbp' (here, top, bottom, page)

Adicionado na versão 1.3.

'atendofbody'

Conteúdo adicional do documento (imediatamente antes dos índices).

Padrão: ''

Adicionado na versão 1.5.

'extrapackages'

Pacotes LaTeX adicionais. Por exemplo:

latex_elements = {
    'extrapackages': r'\usepackage{isodate}'
}

Os pacotes LaTeX especificados serão carregados antes do pacote hyperref e dos pacotes carregados das extensões Sphinx.

Dica

Se você quiser carregar pacotes LaTeX adicionais após o hyperref, use a chave 'preamble'.

Padrão: ''

Adicionado na versão 2.3.

'footer'

Conteúdo adicional do rodapé (antes dos índices).

Padrão: ''

Obsoleto desde a versão 1.5: Use a chave 'atendofbody' no lugar desta.

Chaves que não precisam ser sobrepostas, menos nesses casos especiais:

'extraclassoptions'

Padrão termo vazio. Exemplo: 'extraclassoptions': 'openany' permite capítulos (para documentos do tipo 'manual' ) iniciar em qualquer página.

Padrão: ''

Adicionado na versão 1.2.

Alterado na versão 1.6: Adic. nessa documentação.

'maxlistdepth'

LaTeX permite por padrão pelo menos 6 níveis para listas subordinadas e ambientes de citação, com pelo menos 4 listas numeradas, 4 listas com marcadores. Configurações para essa chave por exemplo: para '10' (como termo) irá permitir até 10 níveis hierárquicos (de todos tipos). Deixando em branco significa obedecer padrões LaTeX.

Aviso

  • Usando essa chave pode ocasionar incompatibilidade com alguns pacotes LaTeX ou classes especiais que possuem suas configurações.

  • Configurando chave irá silenciosamente ignorado se \usepackage{enumitem} for executado dentro de um preambulo de documento. Usar comandos dedicados do pacote LaTeX.

Padrão: 6

Adicionado na versão 1.5.

'inputenc'

Inclusão do pacote “inputenc”.

Default: r'\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}' when using pdflatex, else ''.

Nota

If using utf8x in place of utf8 it is mandatory to extend the LaTeX preamble with suitable \PreloadUnicodePage{<number>} commands, as per the utf8x documentation (texdoc ucs on a TeXLive based TeX installation). Else, unexpected and possibly hard-to-spot problems (i.e. not causing a build crash) may arise in the PDF, in particular regarding hyperlinks.

Even if these precautions are taken, PDF build via pdflatex engine may crash due to upstream LaTeX not being fully compatible with utf8x. For example, in certain circumstances related to code-blocks, or attempting to include images whose filenames contain Unicode characters. Indeed, starting in 2015, upstream LaTeX with pdflatex engine has somewhat enhanced native support for Unicode and is becoming more and more incompatible with utf8x. In particular, since the October 2019 LaTeX release, filenames can use Unicode characters, and even spaces. At Sphinx level this means e.g. that the image and figure directives are now compatible with such filenames for PDF via LaTeX output. But this is broken if utf8x is in use.

Alterado na versão 1.4.3: Previously r'\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}' was used for all compilers.

'cmappkg'

“cmap” package inclusion.

Default: r'\usepackage{cmap}'

Adicionado na versão 1.2.

'fontenc'

Its default, for 'pdflatex' as latex_engine, is r'\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}'. Replace it (if using 'pdflatex') with:

  • r'\usepackage[X2,T1]{fontenc}' if you need occasional Cyrillic letters (физика частиц),

  • r'\usepackage[LGR,T1]{fontenc}' if you need occasional Greek letters (Σωματιδιακή φυσική),

  • r'\usepackage[LGR,X2,T1]{fontenc}' if you need both.

The TeX installation may need some extra packages. For example, on Ubuntu xenial:

  • texlive-lang-greek and cm-super are needed for Greek (LGR),

  • texlive-lang-cyrillic and cm-super are needed for Cyrillic (X2).

With 'xelatex' and 'lualatex', support for Greek and Cyrillic is out-of-the-box: this 'fontenc' key defaults to including the LaTeX package fontspec (with some extras described below) and selects the GNU FreeSerif font as body font. See 'fontpkg'.

Alterado na versão 1.5: Defaults to r'\usepackage{fontspec}' if latex_engine is set to 'xelatex'.

Alterado na versão 1.6: Defaults to r'\usepackage{fontspec}' if latex_engine is set to 'lualatex'.

Alterado na versão 2.0: 'lualatex' executes additionally \defaultfontfeatures[\rmfamily,\sffamily]{} to disable TeX ligatures for << and >>.

Alterado na versão 2.0: Extra LaTeX configuration is automatically executed if LGR, T2A, or X2 are detected in this key, in order to support occasional Greek or Cyrillic with 'pdflatex'.

Alterado na versão 2.2.1: Documents having Greek as main language default to 'xelatex' and should not set the 'fontenc' key, which will load fontspec.

Alterado na versão 2.3.0: 'xelatex' executes \defaultfontfeatures[\rmfamily,\sffamily]{} in order to avoid contractions of -- into en-dash and also transforms of straight quotes into curly quotes (which otherwise would happen even with smartquotes set to False).

'fontsubstitution'

Ignored if 'fontenc' was not configured to use LGR or X2 (or T2A). In case 'fontpkg' key is configured for usage with some TeX fonts known to be available in the LGR or X2 encodings, set this one to be the empty string. Else leave to its default.

Ignored with latex_engine other than 'pdflatex'.

Adicionado na versão 4.0.0.

'textgreek'

For the support of occasional Greek letters.

It is ignored with 'platex', 'xelatex' or 'lualatex' as latex_engine and defaults to either the empty string or to r'\usepackage{textalpha}' for 'pdflatex' depending on whether the 'fontenc' key was used with LGR or not. Only expert LaTeX users may want to customize this key.

It can also be used as r'\usepackage{textalpha,alphabeta}' to let 'pdflatex' support Greek Unicode input in math context. For example :math:`α` (U+03B1) will render as \(\alpha\).

Default: r'\usepackage{textalpha}' or '' if fontenc does not include the LGR option.

Adicionado na versão 2.0.

'geometry'

“geometry” package inclusion, defaults to r'\usepackage{geometry}' or r'\usepackage[dvipdfm]{geometry}' for Japanese documents. The Sphinx LaTeX style file executes additionally:

\PassOptionsToPackage{hmargin=1in,vmargin=1in,marginpar=0.5in}{geometry}

que pode ser configurado via opção correspondente ‘sphinxsetup’ opção.

Adicionado na versão 1.5.

Alterado na versão 1.5.2: opção dvipdfm se latex_engine é 'platex'.

Adicionado na versão 1.5.3: Os termos ‘sphinxsetup’ para margens.

Alterado na versão 1.5.3: The location in the LaTeX file has been moved to after \usepackage{sphinx} and \sphinxsetup{..}, hence also after insertion of 'fontpkg' key. This is in order to handle the paper layout options in a special way for Japanese documents: the text width will be set to an integer multiple of the zenkaku width, and the text height to an integer multiple of the baseline. See the hmargin documentation for more.

'hyperref'

“hyperref” package inclusion; also loads package “hypcap” and issues \urlstyle{same}. This is done after sphinx.sty file is loaded and before executing the contents of 'preamble' key.

Atenção

Carga dos pacotes “hyperref” e “hypcap” é obrigatória.

Adicionado na versão 1.5: Previamente era feito internamente do sphinx.sty.

'maketitle'

“maketitle” call. Override if you want to generate a differently styled title page.

Dica

If the key value is set to r'\newcommandsphinxbackoftitlepage{<Extra material>}\sphinxmaketitle', then <Extra material> will be typeset on back of title page ('manual' docclass only).

Default: r'\sphinxmaketitle'

Alterado na versão 1.8.3: Original \maketitle from document class is not overwritten, hence is reusable as part of some custom setting for this key.

Adicionado na versão 1.8.3: \sphinxbackoftitlepage optional macro. It can also be defined inside 'preamble' key rather than this one.

'releasename'

Value that prefixes 'release' element on title page. As for title and author used in the tuples of latex_documents, it is inserted as LaTeX markup.

Default: 'Release'

'tableofcontents'

“tableofcontents” call. The default of r'\sphinxtableofcontents' is a wrapper of unmodified \tableofcontents, which may itself be customized by user loaded packages. Override if you want to generate a different table of contents or put content between the title page and the TOC.

Default: r'\sphinxtableofcontents'

Alterado na versão 1.5: Previously the meaning of \tableofcontents itself was modified by Sphinx. This created an incompatibility with dedicated packages modifying it also such as “tocloft” or “etoc”.

'transition'

Commands used to display transitions. Override if you want to display transitions differently.

Default: '\n\n\\bigskip\\hrule\\bigskip\n\n'

Adicionado na versão 1.2.

Alterado na versão 1.6: Remove unneeded {} formerly located after \hrule.

'makeindex'

“makeindex” call, the last thing before \begin{document}. With r'\usepackage[columns=1]{idxlayout}\makeindex' the index will use only one column. You may have to install idxlayout LaTeX package.

Default: r'\makeindex'

'printindex'

“printindex” call, the last thing in the file. Override if you want to generate the index differently, append some content after the index, or change the font. As LaTeX uses two-column mode for the index it is often advisable to set this key to r'\footnotesize\raggedright\printindex'. Or, to obtain a one-column index, use r'\def\twocolumn[#1]{#1}\printindex' (this trick may fail if using a custom document class; then try the idxlayout approach described in the documentation of the 'makeindex' key).

Default: r'\printindex'

'fvset'

Customization of fancyvrb LaTeX package.

The default value is r'\fvset{fontsize=auto}' which means that the font size will adjust correctly if a code-block ends up in a footnote. You may need to modify this when using a custom monospace font, for example set it to r'\fvset{fontsize=\small}' if it is Courier-like (for Unicode engines, it is recommended to use rather the Scale interface of \setmonofont LaTeX command from fontspec).

Default: r'\fvset{fontsize=auto}'

Adicionado na versão 1.8.

Alterado na versão 2.0: For 'xelatex' and 'lualatex' defaults to r'\fvset{fontsize=\small}' as this is adapted to the relative widths of the FreeFont family.

Alterado na versão 4.0.0: Changed default for 'pdflatex'. Previously it was using r'\fvset{fontsize=\small}'.

Alterado na versão 4.1.0: Changed default for Chinese documents to r'\fvset{fontsize=\small,formatcom=\xeCJKVerbAddon}'

Alterado na versão 8.1.0: Changed default for 'xelatex' and 'lualatex' to be also r'\fvset{fontsize=auto}'. The rescaling for default monospace font FreeMono is now set via the LaTeX package fontspec interface rather. See 'fontpkg'.

Chaves que configuram outras opções e podem ser sobrepostas são:

'docclass' 'classoptions' 'title' 'release' 'author'

A definição da configuração sphinxsetup

Adicionado na versão 1.5.

The 'sphinxsetup' key of latex_elements provides a LaTeX-type customization interface:

latex_elements = {
    'sphinxsetup': 'key1=value1, key2=value2, ...',
}

LaTeX syntax for boolean keys requires lowercase true or false e.g 'sphinxsetup': "verbatimwrapslines=false". If setting a boolean key to true, =true is optional. Spaces around the commas and equal signs are ignored, spaces inside LaTeX macros may be significant. Do not use ticks/quotes to enclose string or numerical values.

The 'sphinxsetup' defaults to empty. If non-empty, it will be passed as argument to the \sphinxsetup macro inside the document preamble, like this:

\usepackage{sphinx}
\sphinxsetup{key1=value1, key2=value2,...}

It is possible to insert uses of the \sphinxsetup LaTeX macro directly into the body of the document, via the raw directive:

.. raw:: latex

   \begingroup
   \sphinxsetup{%
      TitleColor=DarkGoldenrod,
      ... more comma separated key=value using LaTeX syntax ...
   }

All elements here will be under the influence of the raw ``\sphinxsetup``
settings.

.. raw:: latex

   \endgroup

From here on, the raw ``\sphinxsetup`` has no effect anymore.

This is the technique which has been used to style especially the present part of the documentation for the PDF output. The actually used options will be found at top of doc/latex.rst at the development repository.

The color used in the above example is available from having passed the svgnames option to the “xcolor” package:

latex_elements = {
    'passoptionstopackages': r'\PassOptionsToPackage{svgnames}{xcolor}',
}
bookmarksdepth

Controls the depth of the collapsible bookmarks panel in the PDF. May be either a number (e.g. 3) or a LaTeX sectioning name (e.g. subsubsection, i.e. without backslash). For details, refer to the hyperref LaTeX docs.

Default: 5

Adicionado na versão 4.0.0.

hmargin, vmargin

The dimensions of the horizontal (resp. vertical) margins, passed as hmargin (resp. vmargin) option to the geometry package. Example:

'sphinxsetup': 'hmargin={2in,1.5in}, vmargin={1.5in,2in}, marginpar=1in',

Japanese documents currently accept only the one-dimension format for these parameters. The geometry package is then passed suitable options to get the text width set to an exact multiple of the zenkaku width, and the text height set to an integer multiple of the baselineskip, with the closest fit for the margins.

Default: 1in (equivalent to {1in,1in})

Dica

For Japanese 'manual' docclass with pointsize 11pt or 12pt, use the nomag extra document class option (cf. 'extraclassoptions' key of latex_elements) or so-called TeX “true” units:

'sphinxsetup': 'hmargin=1.5truein, vmargin=1.5truein, marginpar=5zw',

Adicionado na versão 1.5.3.

marginpar

The \marginparwidth LaTeX dimension. For Japanese documents, the value is modified to be the closest integer multiple of the zenkaku width.

Default: 0.5in

Adicionado na versão 1.5.3.

mathnumsep

This defaults to the string (without quotes!) as set by math_numsep (which itself defaults to '.'). Use it if a different setting is needed for LaTeX output.

Adicionado na versão 8.1.0.

verbatimwithframe

Boolean to specify if code-blocks and literal includes are framed. Setting it to false does not deactivate use of package “framed”, because it is still in use for the optional background color.

Default: true.

verbatimwrapslines

Boolean to specify if long lines in code-block‘s contents are wrapped.

If true, line breaks may happen at spaces (the last space before the line break will be rendered using a special symbol), and at ASCII punctuation characters (i.e. not at letters or digits). Whenever a long string has no break points, it is moved to next line. If its length is longer than the line width it will overflow.

Default: true

verbatimforcewraps

Boolean to specify if long lines in code-block‘s contents should be forcefully wrapped to never overflow due to long strings.

Nota

It is assumed that the Pygments LaTeXFormatter has not been used with its texcomments or similar options which allow additional (arbitrary) LaTeX mark-up.

Also, in case of latex_engine set to 'pdflatex', only the default LaTeX handling of Unicode code points, i.e. utf8 not utf8x is allowed.

Default: false

Adicionado na versão 3.5.0.

verbatimmaxoverfull

A number. If an unbreakable long string has length larger than the total linewidth plus this number of characters, and if verbatimforcewraps mode is on, the input line will be reset using the forceful algorithm which applies breakpoints at each character.

Default: 3

Adicionado na versão 3.5.0.

verbatimmaxunderfull

A number. If verbatimforcewraps mode applies, and if after applying the line wrapping at spaces and punctuation, the first part of the split line is lacking at least that number of characters to fill the available width, then the input line will be reset using the forceful algorithm.

As the default is set to a high value, the forceful algorithm is triggered only in overfull case, i.e. in presence of a string longer than full linewidth. Set this to 0 to force all input lines to be hard wrapped at the current available linewidth:

latex_elements = {
    'sphinxsetup': "verbatimforcewraps, verbatimmaxunderfull=0",
}

This can be done locally for a given code-block via the use of raw latex directives to insert suitable \sphinxsetup (before and after) into the latex file.

Default: 100

Adicionado na versão 3.5.0.

verbatimhintsturnover

Boolean to specify if code-blocks display “continued on next page” and “continued from previous page” hints in case of page breaks.

Default: true

Adicionado na versão 1.6.3.

Alterado na versão 1.7: the default changed from false to true.

verbatimcontinuedalign, verbatimcontinuesalign

Horizontal position relative to the framed contents: either l (left aligned), r (right aligned) or c (centered).

Default: r

Adicionado na versão 1.7.

parsedliteralwraps

Boolean to specify if long lines in parsed-literal‘s contents should wrap.

Default: true

Adicionado na versão 1.5.2: set this option value to false to recover former behavior.

inlineliteralwraps

Boolean to specify if line breaks are allowed inside inline literals: but extra potential break-points (additionally to those allowed by LaTeX at spaces or for hyphenation) are currently inserted only after the characters . , ; ? ! / and \. Due to TeX internals, white space in the line will be stretched (or shrunk) in order to accommodate the linebreak.

Default: true

Adicionado na versão 1.5: set this option value to false to recover former behavior.

Alterado na versão 2.3.0: added potential breakpoint at \ characters.

verbatimvisiblespace

When a long code line is split, the last space character from the source code line right before the linebreak location is typeset using this.

Default: \textcolor{red}{\textvisiblespace}

verbatimcontinued

A LaTeX macro inserted at start of continuation code lines. Its (complicated…) default typesets a small red hook pointing to the right:

\makebox[2\fontcharwd\font`\x][r]{\textcolor{red}{\tiny$\hookrightarrow$}}

Alterado na versão 1.5: The breaking of long code lines was added at 1.4.2. The default definition of the continuation symbol was changed at 1.5 to accommodate various font sizes (e.g. code-blocks can be in footnotes).

Nota

Values for color keys must either:

  • obey the syntax of the \definecolor LaTeX command, e.g. something such as VerbatimColor={rgb}{0.2,0.3,0.5} or {RGB}{37,23,255} or {gray}{0.75} or {HTML}{808080} or …

  • or obey the syntax of the \colorlet command from package xcolor e.g. VerbatimColor=red!10 or red!50!green or -red!75 or MyPreviouslyDefinedColor or… Refer to xcolor documentation for this syntax.

Alterado na versão 5.3.0: Formerly only the \definecolor syntax was accepted.

TitleColor

The color for titles (as configured via use of package “titlesec”.)

Default: {rgb}{0.126,0.263,0.361}

InnerLinkColor

A color passed to hyperref as value of linkcolor and citecolor.

Default: {rgb}{0.208,0.374,0.486}.

OuterLinkColor

A color passed to hyperref as value of filecolor, menucolor, and urlcolor.

Default: {rgb}{0.216,0.439,0.388}

VerbatimColor

The background color for code-blocks.

Default: {RGB}{242,242,242} (same as {gray}{0.95}).

Alterado na versão 6.0.0: Formerly, it was {rgb}{1,1,1} (white).

VerbatimBorderColor

The frame color.

Default: {RGB}{32,32,32}

Alterado na versão 6.0.0: Formerly it was {rgb}{0,0,0} (black).

VerbatimHighlightColor

The color for highlighted lines.

Default: {rgb}{0.878,1,1}

Adicionado na versão 1.6.6.

TableRowColorHeader

Sets the background color for (all) the header rows of tables.

It will have an effect only if either the latex_table_style contains 'colorrows' or if the table is assigned the colorrows class. It is ignored for tables with nocolorrows class.

As for the other 'sphinxsetup' keys, it can also be set or modified from a \sphinxsetup{...} LaTeX command inserted via the raw directive, or also from a LaTeX environment associated to a container class and using such \sphinxsetup{...}.

Default: {gray}{0.86}

There is also TableMergeColorHeader. If used, sets a specific color for merged single-row cells in the header.

Adicionado na versão 5.3.0.

TableRowColorOdd

Sets the background color for odd rows in tables (the row count starts at 1 at the first non-header row). Has an effect only if the latex_table_style contains 'colorrows' or for specific tables assigned the colorrows class.

Default: {gray}{0.92}

There is also TableMergeColorOdd.

Adicionado na versão 5.3.0.

TableRowColorEven

Sets the background color for even rows in tables.

Default {gray}{0.98}

There is also TableMergeColorEven.

Adicionado na versão 5.3.0.

verbatimsep

The separation between code lines and the frame.

See Chaves adicionais de 'sphinxsetup' no estilo CSS for its alias pre_padding and additional keys.

Default: \fboxsep

verbatimborder

The width of the frame around code-blocks. See also Chaves adicionais de 'sphinxsetup' no estilo CSS for pre_border-width.

Default: \fboxrule

Importante

Since 8.1.0 it is possible to style separately the topic, contents, and sidebar directives, and their defaults differ. See Chaves adicionais de 'sphinxsetup' no estilo CSS. The next three keys are kept as legacy interface not distinguishing between the three directives.

shadowsep

This legacy option sets the padding (same in all directions) simultaneously for the topic, contents, and sidebar directives.

shadowsize

This legacy option sets the shadow width simultaneously for the topic, contents, and sidebar directives.

shadowrule

This legacy option sets the border-width (same on all sides) simultaneously for the topic, contents, and sidebar directives.

Importante

At 7.4.0 all admonitions (not only danger-type) use the possibilities which were added at 5.1.0 and 6.2.0. All defaults have changed.

iconpackage

The name of the LaTeX package used for icons in the admonition titles. It defaults to fontawesome5 or to fall-back fontawesome. In case neither one is available the option value will automatically default to none, which means that no attempt at loading a package is done. Independently of this setting, arbitrary LaTeX code can be associated to each admonition type via div.<type>_icon-title keys which are described in the Chaves adicionais de 'sphinxsetup' no estilo CSS section. If these keys are not used, Sphinx will either apply its default choices of icons (if fontawesome{5,} is available) or not draw the icon at all. Notice that if fall-back fontawesome is used the common icon for caution and danger will default to “bolt” not “radiation”, which is only found in fontawesome5.

Adicionado na versão 7.4.0.

noteBorderColor, hintBorderColor, importantBorderColor, tipBorderColor

The color for the admonition border.

Default: {RGB}{134,152,155}.

Alterado na versão 7.4.0.

noteBgColor, hintBgColor, importantBgColor, tipBgColor

The color for the admonition background.

Default: {RGB}{247,247,247}.

Adicionado na versão 6.2.0.

Alterado na versão 7.4.0.

noteTextColor, hintTextColor, importantTextColor, tipTextColor

The color for the admonition contents.

Default: unset (contents text uses ambient text color, a priori black)

Adicionado na versão 6.2.0: To be considered experimental until 7.0.0. These options have aliases div.note_TeXcolor (etc) described in Chaves adicionais de 'sphinxsetup' no estilo CSS. Using the latter will let Sphinx switch to a more complex LaTeX code, which supports the customizability described in Chaves adicionais de 'sphinxsetup' no estilo CSS.

noteTeXextras, hintTeXextras, importantTeXextras, tipTeXextras

Some extra LaTeX code (such as \bfseries or \footnotesize) to be executed at start of the contents.

Default: empty

Adicionado na versão 6.2.0: To be considered experimental until 7.0.0. These options have aliases div.note_TeXextras (etc) described in Chaves adicionais de 'sphinxsetup' no estilo CSS.

noteborder, hintborder, importantborder, tipborder

The width of the border. See Chaves adicionais de 'sphinxsetup' no estilo CSS for keys allowing to configure separately each border width.

Default: 0.5pt

warningBorderColor, cautionBorderColor, attentionBorderColor, dangerBorderColor, errorBorderColor

The color for the admonition border.

Default: {RGB}{148,0,0} except for error which uses red.

Alterado na versão 7.4.0.

warningBgColor, cautionBgColor, attentionBgColor, dangerBgColor, errorBgColor

The background color for the admonition background.

Default: {RGB}{247,247,247}.

Alterado na versão 7.4.0.

warningborder, cautionborder, attentionborder, dangerborder, errorborder

The width of the admonition frame. See Chaves adicionais de 'sphinxsetup' no estilo CSS for keys allowing to configure separately each border width.

Default: 1pt except for error which uses 1.25pt.

Alterado na versão 7.4.0.

AtStartFootnote

LaTeX macros inserted at the start of the footnote text at bottom of page, after the footnote number.

Default: \mbox{ }

BeforeFootnote

LaTeX macros inserted before the footnote mark. The default removes possible space before it (else, TeX could insert a line break there).

Default: \leavevmode\unskip

Adicionado na versão 1.5.

HeaderFamily

default \sffamily\bfseries. Sets the font used by headings.

Chaves adicionais de 'sphinxsetup' no estilo CSS

Adicionado na versão 5.1.0: For code-block, topic and contents directive, and strong-type admonitions (warning, error, …).

Adicionado na versão 6.2.0: Also the note, hint, important and tip admonitions can be styled this way. Using for them any of the listed options will trigger usage of a more complex LaTeX code than the one used per default (sphinxheavybox vs sphinxlightbox). Setting the new noteBgColor (or hintBgColor, …) also triggers usage of sphinxheavybox for note (or hint, …).

Adicionado na versão 7.4.0: For all admonition types, the default configuration does set a background color (hence the richer sphinxheavybox is always used).

Importante

Further, all admonition titles are by default styled using a colored row and an icon, which are modeled on the current rendering of Sphinx own docs at https://www.sphinx-doc.org. CSS-named alike keys are added to set the foreground and background colors for the title as well as the LaTeX code for the icon.

Adicionado na versão 7.4.0: Customizability of the seealso and todo directives.

Adicionado na versão 8.1.0: Separate customizability and new defaults for the topic, contents, and sidebar directives.

Perhaps in future these 5.1.0 (and 6.2.0) novel settings will be optionally imported from some genuine CSS external file, but currently they have to be used via the 'sphinxsetup' interface (or the \sphinxsetup LaTeX command inserted via the raw directive) and the CSS syntax is only imitated.

Importante

Low-level LaTeX errors causing a build failure can happen if the input syntax is not respected.

  • In particular colors must be input as for the other color related options previously described, i.e. either in the \definecolor syntax or via the \colorlet syntax:

    ...<other options>
    div.warning_border-TeXcolor={rgb}{1,0,0},% \definecolor syntax
    div.error_background-TeXcolor=red!10,%     \colorlet syntax
    ...<other options>
    
  • A colon in place of the equal sign will break LaTeX.

  • ...border-width or ...padding expect a single dimension: they can not be used so far with space separated dimensions.

  • ...top-right-radius et al. values may be either a single or two space separated dimensions.

  • Dimension specifications must use TeX units such as pt or cm or in. The px unit is recognized by pdflatex and lualatex but not by xelatex or platex.

  • It is allowed for such specifications to be so-called “dimensional expressions”, e.g. \fboxsep+2pt or 0.5\baselineskip are valid inputs. The expressions will be evaluated only at the typesetting time. Be careful though if using as in these examples TeX control sequences to double the backslash or to employ a raw Python string for the value of the ‘sphinxsetup’ key.

  • As a rule, avoid inserting unneeded spaces in the key values: especially for the radii an input such 2 pt 3pt will break LaTeX. Beware also that \fboxsep \fboxsep will not be seen as space separated in LaTeX. You must use something such as {\fboxsep} \fboxsep. Or use directly 3pt 3pt which is a priori equivalent and simpler.

The options are all named in a similar pattern which depends on a prefix, which is then followed by an underscore, then the property name.

Here are now these options as well as their common defaults. Replace below <prefix> by the actual prefix as explained above. Don’t forget the underscore separating the prefix from the property names.

  • <prefix>_border-top-width,
    <prefix>_border-right-width,
    <prefix>_border-bottom-width,
    <prefix>_border-left-width,
    <prefix>_border-width. The latter can (currently) be only a single dimension which then sets all four others.

    The default is that all those dimensions are equal. They are set to:

    Alterado na versão 7.4.0: Changed defaults for topic and error.

    Alterado na versão 8.1.0: Distinct from topic defaults for sidebar.

  • <prefix>_box-decoration-break can be set to either clone or slice and configures the behavior at page breaks. It defaults to slice for code-block (i.e. for <prefix>=pre) since 6.0.0. For other directives the default is clone.

  • <prefix>_padding-top,
    <prefix>_padding-right,
    <prefix>_padding-bottom,
    <prefix>_padding-left,
    <prefix>_padding. The latter can (currently) be only a single dimension which then sets all four others.

    The defaults:

    • all four 3pt for code-block,

    • 6pt, 7pt, 6pt, 7pt for topic,

    • 10pt, 7pt, 12pt, 7pt for contents,

    • 6pt, 5.5pt, 6pt, 5.5pt for sidebar,

    • 6pt, 7pt, 6pt, 7pt for all “light” admonitions as well as the seealso and todo directives.

    • 6pt, 6.5pt, 6pt, 6.5pt for the strong admonition types except error which uses horizontal padding of 6.25pt.

    Alterado na versão 7.4.0: All defaults were changed, except for code-block. Admonitions are set-up so that left (or right) padding plus left (or right) border-width add up always to 7.5pt, so contents align well vertically across admonition types on same page in PDF. This is only a property of defaults, not a constraint on possible user choices.

    Alterado na versão 8.1.0: Separate defaults for topic, contents, and sidebar.

  • <prefix>_border-top-left-radius,
    <prefix>_border-top-right-radius,
    <prefix>_border-bottom-right-radius,
    <prefix>_border-bottom-left-radius,
    <prefix>_border-radius. This last key sets the first four to its assigned value. Each key value can be either a single, or two, dimensions which are then space separated.

    The defaults:

    • 3pt for code-block (since 6.0.0) and all corners,

    • 8pt for all corners of topic,

    • 12pt for the bottom right corner of contents, others use 0pt,

    • 12pt for the top-left and bottom-right corners for sidebar, 0pt for top-right and bottom-left.

    • all radii set to 5pt for note, hint and tip,

    • 0pt, i.e. straight corners for all other directives.

    Alterado na versão 7.4.0: topic and note-like admonitions acquire (at least one) rounded corners.

    Alterado na versão 8.1.0: Separate defaults for topic, contents, and sidebar.

    See a remark above about traps with spaces in LaTeX.

  • <prefix>_box-shadow is special in so far as it may be:

    • the none keyword,

    • or a single dimension (giving both x-offset and y-offset),

    • or two dimensions (separated by a space),

    • or two dimensions followed by the keyword inset.

    The x-offset and y-offset may be negative. A negative x-offset means that the shadow is on the left. The shadow extends into the page margin, whether the offset is positive or negative.

    The default is none except for the contents directive which uses 4pt 4pt.

    Alterado na versão 8.1.0: No shadow per default for topic and sidebar.

  • <prefix>_border-TeXcolor,
    <prefix>_background-TeXcolor,
    <prefix>_box-shadow-TeXcolor,
    <prefix>_TeXcolor. These are colors.

    Since 6.0.0 the border and background colors of code-block, default respectively to {RGB}{32,32,32} (i.e. {HTML}{202020}), and {RGB}{242,242,242} (i.e. {gray}{0.95} or {HTML}{F2F2F2}).

    At 7.4.0 other directives acquire non-black/white default border and background colors. Here they are using xcolor hexadecimal notation (which requires always 6 hexadecimal digits):

    • {HTML}{F7F7F7} serves as background color to all.

    • {HTML}{86989B} is border color of light admonitions (inclusive of seealso and todo) as well as of topic, contents and sidebar directives.

    • {HTML}{940000} is border color of warning-type admonitions, except error which uses {HTML}{B40000}.

    The only directives displaying a shadow per default are contents and sidebar. The shadow-color for the former is {HTML}{6C6C6C} and for the latter {HTML}{9EACAF}.

    The <prefix>_TeXcolor stands for the CSS property “color”, i.e. it influences the text color of the contents. As for the three other options, the naming TeXcolor is to stress that the input syntax is the TeX one for colors not an HTML/CSS one. If package xcolor is available in the LaTeX installation, one can use directly named colors as key values. Consider passing options such as dvipsnames, svgnames or x11names to xcolor via 'passoptionstopackages' key of latex_elements.

    If <prefix>_TeXcolor is set, a \color command is inserted at start of the directive contents; for admonitions, this happens after the heading which reproduces the admonition type.

  • <prefix>_TeXextras: if set, its value must be some LaTeX command or commands, for example \itshape. These commands will be inserted at the start of the contents; for admonitions, this happens after the heading which reproduces the admonition type.

The next keys, for admonitions, topic, contents, and sidebar, were all three added at 7.4.0 (and 8.1.0 for the latter three).

  • div.<type>_title-background-TeXcolor: the background color for the title.

    Importante

    The colored title-row is produced as a result of the Sphinx default definitions for the various \sphinxstyle<type>title commands, which employ the \sphinxdotitlerow LaTeX command. See Macros.

  • div.<type>_title-foreground-TeXcolor: the color to be used for the icon (it applies only to the icon, not to the title of the admonition).

  • div.<type>_title-icon: the LaTeX code responsible for producing the icon. For example, the default for note is div.note_title-icon=\faIcon{info-circle}. This uses a command from the LaTeX fontawesome5 package, which is loaded automatically if available.

    If neither fontawesome5 nor fall-back fontawesome (for which the associated command is \faicon, not \faIcon) are found, or if the iconpackage key of ‘sphinxsetup’ is set to load some other user-chosen package, or no package at all, all the title-icons default to empty LaTeX code. It is up to user to employ this interface to inject the icon (or anything else) into the PDF output.

Nota

  • All directives support box-decoration-break to be set to slice.

    Alterado na versão 6.2.0: Formerly, only code-block did. The default remains clone for all other directives, but this will probably change at 7.0.0.

  • The corners of rounded boxes may be elliptical.

    Alterado na versão 6.2.0: Formerly, only circular rounded corners were supported and a rounded corner forced the whole frame to use the same constant width from <prefix>_border-width.

  • Inset shadows are incompatible with rounded corners. In case both are specified the inset shadow will simply be ignored.

    Alterado na versão 6.2.0: Formerly it was to the contrary the rounded corners which were ignored in case an inset shadow was specified.

  • <prefix>_TeXcolor and <prefix>_TeXextras are new with 6.2.0.

    Usefulness is doubtful in the case of code-block:

    • pre_TeXcolor will influence only the few non-Pygments highlighted tokens; it does color the line numbers, but if one wants to color only them one has to go through the fancyvrb interface.

    • pre_TeXextras=\footnotesize (as an example) is equivalent to setting 'fvset' key value to r'\fvset{fontsize=\footnotesize}'.

    Consider these options experimental and that some implementation details may change. For example if the pre_TeXextras LaTeX commands were put by Sphinx in another location it could override the 'fvset' effect, perhaps this is what will be done in a future release.

  • Rounded boxes are done using the pict2e interface to some basic PDF graphics operations. If this LaTeX package can not be found the build will proceed and render all boxes with straight corners.

  • Elliptic corners use the ellipse LaTeX package which extends pict2e. If this LaTeX package can not be found rounded corners will be circular arcs (or straight if pict2e is not available).

The following legacy behavior applies:

  • For code-block or literalinclude, padding and border-width and shadow (if any) will go into the margin; the code lines remain at the same place independently of the values of the padding and border-width, except for being shifted vertically of course to not overwrite other text due to the width of the border or external shadow.

  • For the other directives, shadows extend horizontally into the page margins, but the border and the extra padding are kept within the text area.

  • code-block and literalinclude use the same LaTeX environment and commands and are not separately customizable.

Ambientes e macros LaTeX

The “LaTeX package” file sphinx.sty loads various components providing support macros (aka commands), and environments, which are used in the mark-up produced on output from the latex builder, before conversion to pdf via the LaTeX toolchain. Also the “LaTeX class” files sphinxhowto.cls and sphinxmanual.cls define or customize some environments. All of these files can be found in the latex build repertory.

Some of these provide facilities not available from pre-existing LaTeX packages and work around LaTeX limitations with lists, table cells, verbatim rendering, footnotes, etc…

Others simply define macros with public names to make overwriting their defaults easy via user-added contents to the preamble. We will survey most of those public names here, but defaults have to be looked at in their respective definition files.

Dica

Sphinx LaTeX support code is split across multiple smaller-sized files. Rather than adding code to the preamble via latex_elements['preamble'] it is also possible to replace entirely one of the component files of Sphinx LaTeX code with a custom version, simply by including a modified copy in the project source and adding the filename to the latex_additional_files list. Check the LaTeX build repertory for the filenames and contents.

Alterado na versão 4.0.0: split of sphinx.sty into multiple smaller units, to facilitate customization of many aspects simultaneously.

    The same remark applies to all other similar commands associated with admonitions. The topic, contents, and sidebar do not use \sphinxremovefinalcolon as they don’t need it.

    Adicionado na versão 1.5: These macros were formerly hard-coded as non customizable \texttt, \emph, etc…

    Adicionado na versão 1.6: \sphinxstyletheadfamily which defaults to \sffamily and allows multiple paragraphs in header cells of tables.

    Adicionado na versão 1.6.3: \sphinxstylecodecontinued and \sphinxstylecodecontinues.

    Adicionado na versão 1.8: \sphinxstyleindexlettergroup, \sphinxstyleindexlettergroupDefault.

    Adicionado na versão 6.2.0: \sphinxstylenotetitle et al. The #1 is the localized name of the directive, with a final colon. Wrap it as \sphinxremovefinalcolon{#1} if this final colon is to be removed.

    Adicionado na versão 7.4.0: Added the \sphinxdotitlerowwithicon LaTeX command.

    Alterado na versão 8.1.0: \sphinxdotitlerowwithicon now detects automatically if an icon is associated or not with the rendered element used as first argument.

    Adicionado na versão 8.1.0: Make \sphinxdotitlerow an alias to \sphinxdotitlerowwithicon.

    Adicionado na versão 8.1.0: Titles of topic, contents, and sidebar directives are also styled using \sphinxdotitlerow (they have no default icons associated with them).

  • \sphinxtableofcontents: A wrapper (defined differently in sphinxhowto.cls and in sphinxmanual.cls) of standard \tableofcontents. The macro \sphinxtableofcontentshook is executed during its expansion right before \tableofcontents itself.

    Alterado na versão 1.5: Formerly, the meaning of \tableofcontents was modified by Sphinx.

    Alterado na versão 2.0: Hard-coded redefinitions of \l@section and \l@subsection formerly done during loading of 'manual' docclass are now executed later via \sphinxtableofcontentshook. This macro is also executed by the 'howto' docclass, but defaults to empty with it.

    Dica

    If adding to preamble the loading of tocloft package, also add to preamble \renewcommandsphinxtableofcontentshook{} else it will reset \l@section and \l@subsection cancelling tocloft customization.

  • \sphinxmaketitle: Used as the default setting of the 'maketitle' latex_elements key. Defined in the class files sphinxmanual.cls and sphinxhowto.cls.

    Alterado na versão 1.8.3: Formerly, \maketitle from LaTeX document class was modified by Sphinx.

  • \sphinxbackoftitlepage: For 'manual' docclass, and if it is defined, it gets executed at end of \sphinxmaketitle, before the final \clearpage. Use either the 'maketitle' key or the 'preamble' key of latex_elements to add a custom definition of \sphinxbackoftitlepage.

    Adicionado na versão 1.8.3.

  • \sphinxcite: A wrapper of standard \cite for citation references.

The \sphinxbox command

Adicionado na versão 6.2.0.

The \sphinxbox[key=value,...]{inline text} command can be used to “box” inline text elements with all the customizability which has been described in Chaves adicionais de 'sphinxsetup' no estilo CSS. It is a LaTeX command with one optional argument, which is a comma-separated list of key=value pairs, as for A definição da configuração sphinxsetup. Here is the complete list of keys. They don’t use any prefix.

  • border-width,

  • border-top-width, border-right-width, border-bottom-width, border-left-width,

  • padding,

  • padding-top, padding-right, padding-bottom, padding-left,

  • border-radius,

  • border-top-left-radius, border-top-right-radius, border-bottom-right-radius, border-bottom-left-radius,

  • box-shadow,

  • border-TeXcolor, background-TeXcolor, box-shadow-TeXcolor, TeXcolor,

  • TeXextras,

  • and addstrut which is a boolean key, i.e. to be used as addstrut=true, or addstrut alone where =true is omitted, or addstrut=false.

This last key is specific to \sphinxbox and it means to add a \strut so that heights and depths are equalized across various instances on the same line with varying contents. The default is addstrut=false. The combination addstrut, padding-bottom=0pt, padding-top=1pt is often satisfactory.

Refer to Chaves adicionais de 'sphinxsetup' no estilo CSS for important syntax information regarding the other keys. The default configuration uses no shadow, a border-width of \fboxrule, a padding of \fboxsep, circular corners with radii \fboxsep and background and border colors as for the default rendering of code-blocks.

When a \sphinxbox usage is nested within another one, it will ignore the options of the outer one: it first resets all options to their default state as they were prior to applying the outer box options, then it applies its own specific ones.

One can modify these defaults via the command \sphinxboxsetup{key=value,...}. The effect is cumulative, if one uses this command multiple times. Here the options are a mandatory argument so are within curly braces, not square brackets.

Here is some example of use:

latex_elements = {
    'preamble': r'''
% modify globally the defaults
\sphinxboxsetup{border-width=2pt,%
                border-radius=4pt,%
                background-TeXcolor=yellow!20}
% configure some styling element with some extra specific options:
\protected\def\sphinxkeyboard#1{\sphinxbox[border-TeXcolor=green]{\sphinxcode{#1}}}
''',
}

A utility \newsphinxbox is provided to create a new boxing macro, say \foo which will act exactly like \sphinxbox but with a given extra configuration:

% the specific options to \foo are within brackets
\newsphinxbox[border-radius=0pt, box-shadow=2pt 2pt]{\foo}
% then use this \foo, possibly with some extra options still:
\protected\def\sphinxguilabel#1{\foo{#1}}
\protected\def\sphinxmenuselection#1{\foo[box-shadow-TeXcolor=gray]{#1}}

Boxes rendered with \foo obey as the ones using directly \sphinxbox the current configuration as set possibly mid-way in document via \sphinxboxsetup (from a raw LaTeX mark-up), the only difference is that they have an initial additional set of default extras.

In the above examples, you can probably use \renewcommand syntax if you prefer it to \protected\def (with [1] in place of #1 then).

Ambientes

  • A figure may have an optional legend with arbitrary body elements: they are rendered in a sphinxlegend environment. The default definition issues \small, and ends with \par.

    Adicionado na versão 1.5.6: Formerly, the \small was hardcoded in LaTeX writer and the ending \par was lacking.

  • Environments associated with admonitions:

    • sphinxnote,

    • sphinxhint,

    • sphinximportant,

    • sphinxtip,

    • sphinxwarning,

    • sphinxcaution,

    • sphinxattention,

    • sphinxdanger,

    • sphinxerror.

    They may be \renewenvironment ‘d individually, and must then be defined with one argument (it is the heading of the notice, for example Warning: for warning directive, if English is the document language). Their default definitions use either the sphinxheavybox (for the last 5 ones) or the sphinxlightbox environments, configured to use the parameters (colors, border thickness) specific to each type, which can be set via 'sphinxsetup' string.

    Alterado na versão 1.5: Use of public environment names, separate customizability of the parameters, such as noteBorderColor, noteborder, warningBgColor, warningBorderColor, warningborder, …

  • Environment for the seealso directive: sphinxseealso. It takes one argument which will be the localized string See also followed with a colon.

    Adicionado na versão 6.1.0.

    Alterado na versão 6.2.0: Colon made part of the mark-up rather than being inserted by the environment for coherence with how admonitions are handled generally.

  • Environment for the todo directive: sphinxtodo. It takes one argument, namely the localization of Todo (with a colon at the end; the default rendering will remove that colon and put the localized string in its own colored title-row).

    Adicionado na versão 7.4.0.

  • The topic, contents and sidebar directives are associated with respectively sphinxtopic, sphinxcontents, and sphinxsidebar environments.

    Adicionado na versão 1.4.2: Former code refactored into an environment allowing page breaks.

    Alterado na versão 1.5: Options shadowsep, shadowsize, shadowrule.

    Adicionado na versão 8.1.0: Separate environments (all three wrappers around sphinxShadowBox) and separate customizability.

  • The literal blocks (via :: or code-block), and literal includes (literalinclude) are implemented using sphinxVerbatim environment which is a wrapper of Verbatim environment from package fancyvrb.sty. It adds the handling of the top caption and the wrapping of long lines, and a frame which allows page breaks. Inside tables the used environment is sphinxVerbatimintable (it does not draw a frame, but allows a caption).

    Alterado na versão 1.5: Verbatim keeps exact same meaning as in fancyvrb.sty (also under the name OriginalVerbatim); sphinxVerbatimintable is used inside tables.

    Adicionado na versão 1.5: Options verbatimwithframe, verbatimwrapslines, verbatimsep, verbatimborder.

    Adicionado na versão 1.6.6: Support for :emphasize-lines: option

    Adicionado na versão 1.6.6: Easier customizability of the formatting via exposed to user LaTeX macros such as \sphinxVerbatimHighlightLine.

  • The bibliography uses sphinxthebibliography and the Python Module index as well as the general index both use sphinxtheindex; these environments are wrappers of the thebibliography and respectively theindex environments as provided by the document class (or packages).

    Alterado na versão 1.5: Formerly, the original environments were modified by Sphinx.

Miscelânea

  • Every text paragraph in document body starts with \sphinxAtStartPar. Currently, this is used to insert a zero width horizontal skip which is a trick to allow TeX hyphenation of the first word of a paragraph in a narrow context (like a table cell). For 'lualatex' which does not need the trick, the \sphinxAtStartPar does nothing.

    Adicionado na versão 3.5.0.

  • The section, subsection, … headings are set using titlesec’s \titleformat command.

  • For the 'manual' docclass, the chapter headings can be customized using fncychap’s commands \ChNameVar, \ChNumVar, \ChTitleVar. File sphinx.sty has custom re-definitions in case of fncychap option Bjarne.

    Alterado na versão 1.5: Formerly, use of fncychap with other styles than Bjarne was dysfunctional.

  • The role directive allows to mark inline text with class arguments. This is handled in LaTeX output via the \DUrole dispatcher command as in Docutils. Object signatures also use \DUrole for some components, with one or two-letters class names as in HTML output.

    Alterado na versão 8.1.0: When multiple classes are injected via a a custom role, the LaTeX output uses nested \DUrole’s as in the Docutils documentation. Formerly it used a single \DUrole with comma separated classes, making the LaTeX customization more arduous.

  • Docutils container directives are supported in LaTeX output: to let a container class with name foo influence the final PDF via LaTeX, it is only needed to define in the preamble an environment sphinxclassfoo. A simple example would be:

    \newenvironment{sphinxclassred}{\color{red}}{}
    

    Currently the class names must contain only ASCII characters and avoid characters special to LaTeX such as \.

    Adicionado na versão 4.1.0.

Dica

As an experimental feature, Sphinx can use user-defined template file for LaTeX source if you have a file named _templates/latex.tex.jinja in your project.

Additional files longtable.tex.jinja, tabulary.tex.jinja and tabular.tex.jinja can be added to _templates/ to configure some aspects of table rendering (such as the caption position).

Adicionado na versão 1.6: currently all template variables are unstable and undocumented.

Alterado na versão 7.4: Added support for the .jinja file extension, which is preferred. The old file names remain supported. (latex.tex_t, longtable.tex_t, tabulary.tex_t, and tabular.tex_t)
