ah cool idea - is this something that should be done at the myst-nb
level, or via something like a separate extension or at the theme level? I can see arguments for any of them so not super opinionated myself
thanks @choldgraf that is a good point.
I guess it will certainly need theme support of some kind?
If we have the -n
for specifying the length of the box would this be something the theme can support (or would this need to be built
by sphinx)?
well I think that we could bundle the CSS for this with myst-nb
itself, probably just something like
div.cell.collapse-20 {
max-height: 20em;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
so that would propagate to other themes etc (though we'd need to make sure that we don't clobber other theme CSS I suppose)
oh cool -- and using an internal template
we could make the 20
some value specified by the tag. thanks.
Do you think this should be in myst_nb
or a general enough request to have it in a separate sphinx
extension?
maybe we can start out with MyST-NB and then fork it out if it seems useful enough. WDYT?
@mmcky @choldgraf to me it feels like it should be somewhere else apart from myst-nb
😬 like we have for other UI related stuffs (sphinx-tabs, sphinx-panels, togglebutton etc). Don't know the best place for it yet though, but the most generic might be sphinx-book-theme
?
div.cell.collapse-20 { max-height: 20em; overflow-y: scroll; }
We can probably specify the number of lines to show in a config variable and use css like this to configure max-height
?
It does seem like a "theme" thing rather than a myst-nb thing...I'd be +1 implementing it there, it is simple enough for other themes to implement themselves I suppose
hmm. let me try out this one this week and see how it looks in the theme.
@AakashGfude how did this trial go? Perhaps we can work on this next week.
@AakashGfude I agree with you. I think this is more a theme
support item. Other collapse
style mechanisms such as for the left hand toc are implemented in the theme rather than here (as a plugin). Perhaps the best way forward for this is:
quantecon-book-theme
as a proof of conceptsphinx-book-theme
or pydata-sphinx-theme
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For long
code-block
andcode-cell
it would be nice to have a collapsed feature with a line specification. So for example it would load with only 20 lines showing and an ability to expand the block.https://myst-nb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/use/hiding.html#hiding-cell-contents
Describe the solution you'd like
Perhaps the tag could be
collapse-n
where n is the number of lines? (i.e.collapse-20
would have a cell with 20 lines (or less if content is less) showing.Describe alternatives you've considered
Not really any
Additional context
Would support displaying code cells like the one in this section:
