JupyterBook-Patches

JupyterBook-Patches#

This Sphinx extension fixes:

  • with a layout patch:

    • an issue where drop down menus would still take up space after being minimized, and the patch fixes it through some css.

    • an issue where in drop down code cells the shown summary remained lightgray instead of turning darkgrey. Fix through css.

    • an issue where the size of code in a header is not the correct font size. Fix through css.

    • an issue where the sidebar shows a scrollbar even if that’s not needed

    • an issue where the margin causes a scroll bar for a window between 992 and 1200px.

  • with a button patch:

    • an issue where two buttons for interactive matplotlib widget do not appear.

  • with a mathjax patch:

    • an issue where in the Firefox browser the CHTML renderer of MathJax does not render thin lines consistently. Fixed by selecting the SVG renderer only for the Firefox browser.
