Open Contracting Standard Sphinx Theme

This is the Sphinx theme used for the Open Contracting Standard documentation. It is a fork of the Read the Docs Sphinx Theme, the original readme for that can be found at RTD_THEME_README.rst.

We forked the theme rather than inheriting from it, because Sphinx's Jinja templates only allow one level of overrides. By having our own (forked) theme, we can have one theme for all versions of the standard, but make version-specific overrides on the appropriate branch.

Setting up the environment

The instructions in the original README are for macOS. On a recent version of Ubuntu (like 15.10), you can run:

sudo aptitude install nodejs npm ruby-sass
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-packages'
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.npm-packages/bin" # and put this line in your ~/.bashrc
# (if running 'node' doesn't bring up a command prompt (>)
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

On older versions (like 14.04), run gem install sass instead of installing ruby-sass with aptitude.

Then, as in the original README:

npm install -g bower grunt-cli
npm install
