docs: add better support for Sphinx themes and CSS
v2 cover docs: add better support for Sphinx themes and CSS
Hi Jon,
This series comes after my patch fixing Sphinx support for RTD 1.0.0:
It provides, IMHO, a nice improvement on themes selection. This series is a v2 of the other theme-related patches I sent today.
-
Sphinx allows using different output templates for HTML (and e-pub).
Right now, the Kernel was hardcoded to use the Read the Docs theme, falling back to whatever default is setup on a given Sphinx version.
Well, themes and templates are actually an user preference.
This patch set allows selecting different themes and even provide extra CSS override files.
With that, one could, for instance, do things like:
$ echo "body { color: darkgreen; } div.body { color: darkgreen; } " >my_css.css && make SPHINXDIRS=input CSS=my_css.css THEME=nature htmldocsIn order to use the Sphinx nature theme with the normal font in green.
patch 1 adds a theme selection make variable (THEME); patch 2 adds a css selection variable (CSS); patch 3 sets the classic theme to look a little better; patch 4 adds support for the RTD dark mode theme.
It should be noticed that the RTD dark mode currently has some issues, as it is actually an override on the top of the original RTD theme. I suspect it needs to be updated to properly support Sphinx 4.3.0 and RTD 1.0.0 theme. Yet, it seems useful, as one can always switch to daylight mode in runtime, if something looks odd with it enabled.

PATCH v2 1/4 docs: allow selecting a Sphinx theme
Instead of having RTD as an almost mandatory theme, allow the user to select other themes via a THEMES environment var.
There's a catch, though: as the current theme override logic is dependent of the RTD theme, we need to move the code which adds the CSS overrides to be inside the RTD theme logic.

PATCH v2 2/4 docs: allow to pass extra CSS themes via make
In reply to Mauro Carvalho ChehabSpecially when the RTD theme is not used, it makes sense to allow specifying extra CSS files via a make variable.

PATCH v2 3/4 docs: set format for the classic mode
In reply to Mauro Carvalho ChehabWhen RTD is not installed or when THEME=classic is used, the produced docs contain some weird selections. As this theme has several variables to customize it, set them, in order to produce a nicer output.

PATCH v2 4/4 docs: add support for RTD dark mode
In reply to Mauro Carvalho ChehabThis is actually an overlay on the top of the RTD theme, which requires to include first the RTD theme.
While the CSS overlay file for RTD can be used here, the color settings can't be applied, as they would do weird things. So, we need to split the color-dependent logic in order to place it into a separate file.
