Simple, inelegant Sphinx extension which adds a directive for a highlighted code-block that may be toggled hidden and shown in HTML. Naturally, this directive is called hidden-code-block. This is possibly useful for teaching courses.
The directive, like the standard code-block directive, takes a language argument and an optional linenos parameter. The hidden-code-block adds starthidden and label as optional parameters.
Using starthidden to have the code initially showing:
+ show/hide codea = 10
b = a + 5
Using label change the toggle text and linenos to include line numbers:
--- SHOW/HIDE ---1 2 | x = 10
y = x + 5
|
Installing is as easy as downloading the hidden_code_block.py file and placing it inside of your Sphinx project. Then, edit the project’s conf.py to include 'hidden_code_block' in the extensions list and add the current directory to the PYTHONPATH (sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('.'))).
Thanks to http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/dom3.shtml for inspiration on the javascript.
Thanks to Milad ‘animal’ Fatenejad for suggesting this extension in the first place.
