Hieroglyph
Hieroglyph is an extension for Sphinx which builds HTML presentations from ReStructured Text documents.
Installing
You can install Hieroglyph using easy_install or pip:
$ pip install hieroglyph
You can also install the latest development version, which may contain new features:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/nyergler/hieroglyph#egg=hieroglyph
Hieroglyph supports Sphinx 2.4 and later, and Python 3.7 and later.
Using Hieroglyph
You can start a new Hieroglyph presentation using the included quickstart script:
$ hieroglyph-quickstart
This will generate the Sphinx configuration, along with an optional Makefile and batch file, with Hieroglyph enabled.
If you're on something UNIX-like (Linux, Mac OS X, etc), you can then
generate your slides by running make:
$ make slides
You can also add Hieroglyph as a Sphinx extension to your existing configuration:
extensions = [
'hieroglyph',
]
Read the documentation for all the details about using, configuring, and extending Hieroglyph.
Connect
You can connect with other Hieroglyph users and the developers via the hieroglyph-users email list (Google Groups). A Gmane archive is also available.
Developing
Making a Release
Hieroglyph uses Versioneer for managing verison numbers. Versioneer is able to derive a reasonable version number using git tags as the source of truth.
To create a release, do the following:
Update the change log (NEWS.txt)
Tag the release commit as hieroglyph-x.y.z
Build the distributions using setup.py:
