An interactive book theme for Sphinx.

This is a lightweight Sphinx theme designed to mimic the look-and-feel of an interactive book. It has the following primary features:

  • Bootstrap 5 for visual elements and functionality.
  • Flexible content layout that is inspired by beautiful online books, such as the Edward Tufte CSS guide
  • Visual classes designed for Jupyter Notebooks. Cell inputs, outputs, and interactive functionality are all supported.
  • Launch buttons for online interactivity. For pages that are built with computational material, connect your site to an online BinderHub for interactive content.
