TagList

Taglist is an extension to Sphinx documentation system.

Installation

Instalation through pip:

or through github:

python setup.py install

Next, you have to add extension to 'conf.py' in your sphinx project.

extensions = [
 ...,
 'sphinxcontrib.taglist',
 ...]

Configuration

When using tags with this extension you may want give each tag other color. You can do that in 'conf.py' by adding:

taglist_tags = {
 'tag1': {'background-color': 'green'}
}

Directives

tag:

 tag directive add a 'piece' of information, and you can tag it.

 You can use it like:

 .. tag:: Some tagged information
 :tag: tag1 tag2 tag3

 or:

 .. tag:: [tag1 tag2 tag3] Some tagged information

 Warning: Second method is used only if first method is not.

 Warning: I am not sure this syntax, it may change. If you have anny suggestions please let me know.

taglist:

 taglist is a directive which catch tags and do a list.

 Firstly it prints 'Tags: ...' with information which tags it displays, and than it shows the list.

 You can use it like:

 .. taglist::
 :tags: tag1 tag3

How it works?

The codebase is derived from sphinxcontrib-requirements so it works in similar way.

During document reading tag directives create tag_node`s. `taglist create taglist nodes.

During resolving taglist nodes are changed to a piece of text Tags: with tags items which will be displayed on that list. Next it prints all tagged items.

CSS

taglist.css:

 It contains base class for tag - taglist_tag

 Warning: It probably will be changed and put in taglist_tags.css. (And it will be configurable from conf.py)

Additionally, it creates the file taglist_tags.css during processing (with css for each tag you defined in conf.py; taglist_tags maps all tag keys to css keys) and write it to build directory to static files.

Requirements:

• Python
• Sphinx
