qrenderer

This is an experimental renderer for quartodoc. It can only be installed from github and it will never be released on PyPi. Some version of it may find its way into quartodoc. Use it with caution, there will be breaking changes.

Install

$ pip install git+https://github.com/has2k1/qrenderer.git

How to extend quartodoc with qrenderer

Import QRenderer which is the bridge between this renderer and quartodoc’s current rendering system.
Import any Render classes that you want to extend. The options are:
- RenderDoc to extend the common parts to classes, functions, attributes and modules.
- RenderDocClass to extend rendering of classes.
- RenderDocFunction to extend rendering of functions.
- RenderDocAttribute to extend rendering of attributes.
- RenderDocModule to extend rendering of modules.
- RenderDocCallMixin to extend rendering of the common part parts of functions and class methods i.e. callables.
- RenderDocMembersMixin to extend rendering of the common parts of modules and classes i.e. objects with members.
- RenderLayout to extend rendering of the Reference page.
- RenderSection to extend rendering of a section/group of objecs on Reference page.
- RenderPage to extend rendering of page that contains the documentation of one or more objects. i.e. links from the Reference lead to this type of page.
Wheen overriding the defaults, the common methods to extend are:
Though for some types, it does not make sense to extend some of these methods. e.g. modules and attributes do not have signatures so extending the render_signature method would not have an effect.
Install qrenderer stylesheets (s) into your doc directory.
```
cd doc
python -m qrenderer.stylesheets.install .
```

Example

Keeping the original signature of a class, we add a line of text below it.

_renderer.py

from quartodoc.pandoc.blocks import Blocks
from qrenderer import QRenderer, RenderDocClass

class Renderer(QRenderer):
    pass

class _RenderDocClass(RenderDocClass):

    def render_signature(self):
        sig = super().render_signature()
        return Blocks([sig, "Line below the class signature"])

Then your minimal configuration file should contain

_quarto.yml

project:
  type: website

format:
  html:
    toc: true
    theme:
      - lumen           # bootswatch theme
      - qrenderer.scss  # qrenderer's customisation
      - custom.scss     # your customisation

quartodoc:
  package: your_package
  renderer:
    style: _renderer.py
    typing_module_paths:
      - your_package.typing  # path to your type annotations

The easiest customisation you can make is to change the primary color of your documentation.

custom.scss

/*-- scss:defaults --*/
$primary: #9E2F68;

/*-- scss:mixins --*/

/*-- scss:rules --*/

/*-- scss:functions --*/

/*-- scss:uses --*/
