Nav pane width

[masaccio]

Is there a way to change the proportions of the nav pane? In my project the pane is too narrow and results in a lot of line wrapping.

[danirus]

Yes, you could add a custom.css file to your project with the CSS that would change the proportions of the grid-template-columns used here. By default their value are: 4fr 1fr. The width of the central area is 4fr and the right side panel width is 1fr, but you could do something like:

.nftt-layout .nftt-main {
    grid-template-columns: 4fr 1.5fr;
}

If you put that little CSS code in a _static/custom.css, and modify your conf.py to include it, like this:

html_style = ["custom.css",]

Then it should work. Let me know :-)

[masaccio]

Perfect, thanks.

Related second question - can the table of contents sidebar be changed/hidden?

[danirus]

Yes.
In the document where you want it to be hidden, put :hidetoc: 1 at the top of the file.
See it in the line 6 of the index.rst, of Nefertiti for Sphinx documentation.
It works in both .rst and .md (with MyST-Parser).

I have my terminology wrong then - I mean the left-hand pane with the filter box in it.

[danirus]

No, that one can't be removed.
It is automatically hidden when using a smaller screen.

Hi @masaccio, in the last version, 0.3.2, I implemented what you mentioned here. The removal of the left sidebar. In the same way that we can use the :hidetoc: 1 directive, now there is another one called :hideindex: 1, to hide the index in the left side.

[masaccio]

I will re-close and think on how I can use a TOC. I think I see a way of auto-generating both the Github README and the fuller docs from a single source.

Thanks for the prompt responses and the theme which is very much the balance of readability and highlighting important stuff that I wanted.

I am glad you like it :-)
