Catkin-Sphinx

Sphinx plugins for Catkin projects. Currently provides the ROS theme, better shell prompt highlighting and a sphinx domain for cmake.

Using the ROS theme

To use this plugin, add the following to the conf.py in your project (which it should have as one of the files used by Sphinx to generate documentation):

# Below the definition of html_theme_path:
import catkin_sphinx
html_theme_path = [catkin_sphinx.get_theme_path()]

# Use ROS theme
html_theme = 'ros-theme'

Using an improved shell prompt highlighting

Add the following to the conf.py in your project below the definition of the extensions list::

extensions = extensions + ['catkin_sphinx.ShLexer']

This will slightly improve documentation highlighting for examples like::

# this will make all following snippets be of type prompt
.. highlight:: catkin-sh

# this will create a single code block of type prompt (examples)
.. code-block:: catkin-sh

  >>> python setup.py install
  # comment
  $ bash prompt

Using the cmake sphinx domain

Add the following to the conf.py in your project below the definition of the extensions list::

extensions = extensions + ['catkin_sphinx.cmake']

Then cmake modules and macros can be documented using the following syntax::

* :cmake:mod:`foo` Module

.. cmake:macro:: bar(bam)

  :param bam: foo docstring
  :type bam: string
  :returns: list

Blank lines and indentation are important. No autodoc extention for cmake files yet.
