Examples

Various examples of Bootstrap styling applied to Sphinx constructs. You can view the source of this page to see the specific reStructuredText used to create these examples.

Headings

This is a first level heading (h1).

Sub-Heading

This is a second level heading (h2).

Sub-Sub-Heading

This is a third level heading (h3).

Code

The Sphinx Bootstrap Theme uses Bootstrap styling for inline code text and

multiline
code text

Here’s an included example with line numbers.

"""Sphinx bootstrap theme."""
import os

VERSION = (0, 6, 0)

__version__ = ".".join(str(v) for v in VERSION)
__version_full__ = __version__

def get_html_theme_path():
    """Return list of HTML theme paths."""
    cur_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
    return [cur_dir]

It also works with existing Sphinx highlighting:

<html>
  <body>Hello World</body>
</html>
def hello():
    """Greet."""
    return "Hello World"
/**
 * Greet.
 */
function hello(): {
  return "Hello World";
}

Admonitions

The Sphinx Bootstrap Theme uses the Bootstrap alert classes for Sphinx admonitions.

Icons

Icons are different in Bootstrap 2 and 3, so you will only see an icon below for the version of Bootstrap that we used to build these docs.

Bootstrap 2

The following template HTML:

<span class="icon-star-empty"></span>

translates to a neat star:

Bootstrap 3

The following template HTML:

<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star-empty"></span>

translates to a neat star:

Tables

Here are some examples of Sphinx tables. The Sphinx Bootstrap Theme removes all Sphinx docutils classes and replaces them with the default Bootstrap table class. You can add additional table classes using the Sphinx cssclass:: directive, as demonstrated in the following tables.

Grid

A “bordered” grid table:

Header1 Header2 Header3 Header4
row1, cell1 cell2 cell3 cell4
row2 …  
 

which uses the directive:

.. cssclass:: table-bordered

Simple

A simple “striped” table:

H1 H2 H3
cell1 cell2 cell3

which uses the directive:

.. cssclass:: table-striped

And a “hoverable” table:

H1 H2 H3
cell1 cell2 cell3

which uses the directive:

.. cssclass:: table-hover
