[sphinx-dev] slideshow mode (was: Using Sphinx in education)

Interesting that you cited Death by Powerpoint. I used Sphinx to deliver
a handout for my Art of Presentation-seminar.

But concerning presentations:

There is a presentation mode in the Python CMS Plone. You can have a
look here:
http://www.hasecke.com/plone-benutzerhandbuch/4.0/artikeltypen/seite.html?highlight=präsentation#prasentationsmodus

The feature is based on S5 (http://s5project.org/) I don't know the
status of the s5 project. And I use it only from time to time because I
prefer Keynote but perhaps this is something some people would like to
see in Sphinx.

You could write your documentation and simply mark something to appear
on a slide. You could switch your documentation to a slide show with a
mouse click.

In Plone we use a special CSS for the slideshow. It hides all paragraphs
and only displays headlines and lists (bullet lists, enumerated lists
and description lists). So the normal representation as a html-page and
the s5-slideshow use the same html-source.

In Sphinx there could be a more sophisticated solution with a special S5
builder, where you can design your slide with a '.. only::' statement.

The alternative to a s5 builder is a builder for the beamer class in LaTeX.

Cheers!
juh

 You'll have to link to the development Python docs (
 http://docs.python.org/dev),
 since the 2.7 docs are still using Sphinx 0.6 which only can reference to
 Python
 objects, not terms or keywords.

 cheers,

I see. Do you think there's a good reason for them to stay at 0.6? Should I
file an issue for them to upgrade?

Since these branches are in bugfix-only mode, I thought it best not to
update the toolchain either.  However I'll discuss with the other developers
for the next release.

[sphinx-dev] matplotlib plot directive

2011-01-16 Thread Curiouslearn
Hello,

I just learnt how to add matplotlib extension for sphinx to the sphinx
project so that I can embed matplotlib code that is coverted to
figures on the fly. I tried two figures and matplotlib gives these
figures the name of hires.png. I have not specified the name hires
anywhere in my document, so I suppose it is somewhere in the extension
code. Can someone please tell me how can I get rid of this name
hires?

Thanks
