html_theme = "flask" # or jinja, werkzeug, click- Whether all four themes (flask, jinja, werkzeug, click) are equally mature and feature-complete.
- Customization depth available beyond theme selection in conf.py.
- Whether this package is suitable for non-Pallets projects seeking similar styling.
What it is and what it does
Pallets Sphinx Themes provides a set of pre-built Sphinx themes designed for the Pallets project ecosystem (Flask, Jinja, Werkzeug, Click). It solves the problem of maintaining visual consistency across documentation for related Python projects by offering themed templates that can be enabled in a Sphinx configuration file. The package is a pure Python wheel with low installation friction, depending only on packaging, sphinx, and sphinx-notfound-page.
You use it by adding the extension to your Sphinx conf.py and selecting one of the four available themes by name. It's intended for projects that want to adopt the Pallets documentation aesthetic or for extension authors working within the Pallets ecosystem who need their documentation to match the parent project's look and feel.
Use it for
- Building documentation for Flask extensions that should visually match the main Flask docs.
- Styling Jinja template documentation to align with the official Jinja project theme.
- Creating consistent documentation for Werkzeug-based projects or middleware.
- Documenting Click command-line applications with the Click project's visual identity.
