Footer

Most of the functionality of this theme is built into its header and sidebars, so each is explained briefly below.

  • Header: Contains links for each major section of your documentation. These are generated from your documentation’s top-level documentation toctree items. Also contains your site’s logo and icon links and components that are site-wide.

  • Primary Sidebar: Contains links between pages in the active section. These are the second-level toctree items in your documentation. This will only be displayed if there are other pages in a section or if no section is active (like on the landing page)

  • Secondary Sidebar: Contains links to headers within the current page as well as page-specific source links.

Configure the theme#
