Welcome to sphinx-hoverxref!
sphinx-hoverxref is a Sphinx extension to show a floating window (tooltips or modal dialogues) on the cross references of the documentation embedding the content of the linked section on them. With sphinx-hoverxref, you don’t need to click a link to see what’s in there.
Usage
To show a floating window, use the role hoverxref to link to any document or section and embed its content into it.
We currently support two different types of floating windows: Tooltip and Modal.
Writing this reStructuredText in your document:
This will :hoverxref:`show a floating window <hoverxref:hoverxref>` in the linked words.
it will be rendered to:
This will show a floating window in the linked words.
Note
The default style (tooltip or modal) is defined by the config hoverxref_role_types.
To force the floating window to be a tooltip, you can use :hoverxreftooltip: role instead.
This will :hoverxreftooltip:`show a tooltip <hoverxref:hoverxref>` in the linked words.
it will be rendered to:
This will show a tooltip in the linked words.
To force the floating window to be a modal, you can use :hoverxrefmodal: role instead.
This will :hoverxrefmodal:`show a modal <hoverxref:hoverxref>` in the linked words.
it will be rendered to:
This will show a modal in the linked words.
Tip
These new roles are alias of the ref role and works in the same.
See Usage for more detailed information about this and other examples.
