Sphinx Prompt

Initialize

In conf.py add extensions += ['sphinx_prompt'].

Syntax

A default prompt can be created using a prompt directive:

.. prompt::

   <statements>

The prompt can be further customized in one of two ways:

  • Using positional arguments:

    .. prompt:: [<language> [<prompts> [<modifiers>]]]
    
        <statements>
  • Using options:

    .. prompt::
        :language: <language>
        :prompts: <prompts>
        :modifiers: <modifiers>
    
       <statements>

While these constructs generate the same output, the positional arguments cannot be used if you want to use a prompt that contains spaces. This is a limitation of reStructuredText.

Positional arguments can be mixed with options if they don't overlap (so if you pass prompts using options, you can only pass the language using positional arguments):

.. prompt:: bash
    :prompts: (cool_project) $

   python3 -m pip install --upgrade sphinx-prompt

  • text (no pigments, default)
