Read The Docs template for Couscous

Read The Docs builds websites using a Sphinx theme. That theme is open source and released under the MIT license.

This project is a port of the Sphinx theme to Couscous.

Usage

To use the template, set it up in your couscous.yml configuration file:

template:
    url: https://github.com/CouscousPHP/Template-ReadTheDocs

Configuration

Here are all the variables you can set in your couscous.yml:

# Base URL of the published website
baseUrl: http://username.github.io/project

# Used to link to the GitHub project
github:
    user: myself
    repo: my-project

title: My project
subTitle: This is a great project.

# The left menu bar
menu:
    items:
        home:
            text: FAQ
            # You can use relative urls
            relativeUrl: doc/faq.html
        foo:
            text: Another link
            # Or absolute urls
            absoluteUrl: https://example.com
        group:
            text: Link with a sub menu
            relativeUrl: group.html
            items:
                anchor:
                    text: Some anchor
                    relativeUrl: group.html#some-anchor
                link:
                    text: Some link
                    absoluteUrl: https://example.com

Note that the menu items can also contain HTML:

home:
    text: "<i class=\"fa fa-github\"></i> FAQ"
    relativeUrl: doc/faq.html

Menu

To set the current menu item (i.e. highlighted menu item), set the currentMenu key in the Markdown files:

---
currentMenu: home
---

# Welcome

When using sub menus you can also specify the currentSubMenu key.

TODO

Want to help?

The original template came with a lot of SASS files and features. Some features are not ported to this Couscous template (e.g. the search).

What would be good to do:

• find a way to cleanly handle the SASS files and the theme.css (which contains the generated/minified CSS) which right now are duplicates. Relying on SASS wouldn't be a good idea though since it would be end-users have to install SASS.
• clean up unused CSS and SASS style (e.g. search bar, …)

In the meantime, the original minified theme.css is used and it works just great.
