remotecode

remotecode is an extension for Sphinx that enables code blocks from remote sources.

Usage

  1. Install chios, then add remotecode to the list of extensions in conf.py:

    extensions = ['chios.remotecode']
    
  2. Use the remote-code-block directive to fetch remote source code and display it in a code-block.

    .. remote-code-block:: ini
    
       https://example.com/rawsource.ini
    

Troubleshooting

If a remote-code-block is empty in the HTML output, it is likely that the given link could not be resolved. Check the Sphinx build messages for a warning:

index.rst:32: WARNING: Unable to resolve https://example.ini
