Testing a local version of the theme against another project

To run a local version of the theme with another project, e.g. my-docs, take the following steps:

1. Clone the sphinx-theme repository, and checkout the branch or tag you want to use.

2. Run the following command in the sphinx-theme directory, to build the CSS for the theme.

   npm run build
   

3. Go to my-docs directory, and install the Sphinx theme

   pip install -e /path/to/sphinx-theme
   

4. Set the html_theme option in your conf.py

   html_theme = "iati_sphinx_theme"

5. Start the docs development server:

   pip install sphinx-autobuild
   sphinx-autobuild docs docs/_build/html
   

Translation

The Sphinx theme itself contains both built-in strings that cannot be changed and strings that can be configured by the user via conf.py. To translate these, see the sphinx-theme documentation

For instructions on translating an IATI documentation site that uses this theme, see the iati-docs-base.

Release process

To publish a new version, raise a PR to main, updating the version in pyproject.toml. Once merged, create a git tag and GitHub release for the new version, with naming vX.Y.Z. This will trigger the package to be published to PyPI.
