Description

The layer adds Sphinx support to Spacemacs. It will automatically also install the restructuredtext layer.

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add sphinx to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Configuration

Sphinx target

To use the layer's Sphinx feature, the following variables should be set.

A parent directory is needed for all Sphinx projects' builds.

    (setq rst-sphinx-target-parent "/your/path/of/build/")

Set a directory in the parent directory for each Sphinx project.

    (setq rst-sphinx-target-projects
          '(("project1" . (latex "folder/in/target/parent" t))
            ("project2" . (html  "folder/in/target/parent" nil))
            ))

Web browser

Set the browser for viewing the HTML page of current rst file. This one is optional. If not set, the default browser will be used.

    (setq rst-slides-program "chromium")
