I want to create a table in ReStructuredText (ReST / RST) where every column should be rendered as an inline literal / monospace font.
I can't find a way to have inline literals span multiple lines, where there is text in front of them, like a table.
Is there a way for me to set a table to render a specific column as inline literal / monospace font? If not, what is the best practice for this?
Try this.
.. csv-table::
:header: Header1, Header2, Header3
A, B, "These lines appear as one line,
even though they are written in two lines."
C, D, "This is normal text. ``this is inline stuff that is very long and may wrap on multiple lines of text in a table cell, and it could look OK, but who knows?`` This is normal text again."
Yields this screenshot, using the Alabaster theme.
You might have to twiddle your theme's CSS to get it just right.

I'm new to MyST and Sphinx, so perhaps this has an obvious explanation, but it is not obvious to me. Whenever I use any construct in my Markdown source, such as bold facing or italics or even an html element such as <span>, the result in the formatted HTML output contains spaces inside the HTML tags. For example, an input such as
* **Barcode**: the barcode identifying the item
* **Title**: the title of the item.
* **Author**: the author of the item.
produces this:
Note the space before the :. Inspecting the HTML reveals that the bold-faced element contains unexpected space characters:
Note the spaces inside the <strong>...</strong>. Why is this happening? What am I doing wrong? More importantly, how do I make it stop?
I'm using Sphinx 3.4.3 with myst-parser 0.13.3. My conf.py defines extensions as 'myst_parser', 'sphinx.ext.autodoc', 'sphinx.ext.autosectionlabel', and 'sphinx.ext.napoleon'.
in a Web page :
<h3 class="xh-highlight">Units Currently On Bed List</h3>
"[total beds=0]
"
i want to find xpath of total beds=0.
how can i do?
Your question and your comment are a bit contradictory. Do you want to find the text after a heading or do you want to find the element containing the text [total beds=0]? Also, how exact do you want to navigate your document?
To find a text after any h3 element you can use this: //h3/following-sibling::text()[1] (see XPath - select text after certain node).
To find a text after an h3 element with the class "xs-highlight" you can use this: //h3[#class='xh-highlight']/following-sibling::text()[1]
To be even more precise you can also look for the heading text: //h3[#class='xh-highlight' and text()='Units Currently On Bed List']/following-sibling::text()[1]
This doesn't match the html in your first comment however, so you might want to adjust the header class and text values. Also, it will find any first text even if there are other elements between it and the h3 element.
Now, your second comment makes it seem you actually want to find the element containing the text. The reason //*[text()='[total beds=0]'] doesn't work is because of the newline in the text. If you can get rid of that in the source it should match, otherwise you can "ignore" it in the xpath by using //*[normalize-space(text())='[total beds=0]']. (This is assuming the quotes around the text in your question aren't actually in the document.)
I'm putting together some TiddlyWiki templates, and I've run into something that would be nice to have, but I'm not sure whether it's actually possible.
I have some tiddlers that I'm including in another tiddler using the tabs macro. Each tiddler has one of two tags associated with it. I'd like to append a snippet of text to the caption in the tab view, based on which tag is associated.
I don't have a strong preference for whether this is done by adding some kind of callback to edit the caption on save, something that somehow calculates the desired caption on the fly, altering the invocation of the tabs macro to recalculate the caption on render, or somehow causing the templates to calculate the caption field.
I haven't found anything promising going through the documentation, but maybe I just haven't figured out what's relevant to my issue. I find that happens a lot.
Like, I'm sure I can write conditionals based on whether the tags exist, but I can't see any way to interpolate text into the caption field based on any kind of computation whatsoever.
For reference, here are my current macro invocations:
<<tabs [list[]] state:$:/state/tabPeriod template:PeriodTemplate>>
<<tabs [list[$(currentTab)$]] state:$:/state/tabEvent class:"tc-vertical" template:"EventTemplate">>
<<tabs [list[$(currentTab)$]] state:$:/state/tabScene template:"SceneTemplate">>
All of these lines are from different templates, that just pull a list of tiddlers and template-transclude them into tabs using the provided template. Currently, the tabs are captioned with the tiddler caption, if defined, and fall back to the title. I'd like to alter the caption, ideally without inserting too much boilerplate into the tiddlers.
I figured out what I need to do differently: I defined a custom macro based on the tabs macro, added the logic, and now it works fine. I basically just changed the current contents of the caption logic to:
<$set name="tv-wikilinks" value="no">
<$transclude tiddler=<<currentTab>> field="caption">
<$macrocall $name="currentTab" $type="text/plain" $output="text/plain"/>
</$transclude>
<$list filter='[<currentTab>tag[light]]'>
○
</$list>
<$list filter='[<currentTab>tag[dark]]'>
●
</$list>
</$set>
I'm not sure if I'm using the list widget correctly, but it works.
I want to extract the plain text in the html table (that is, I don't want to grab the information including red arrow),
However, I tried to get the plain text by cell.text, it will get the unnecessary hyperlinks' text
"\n central tendency1 \n "
I expected that I can get
"central tendency"
So I tried cell.text.strip.downcase.gsub!(/\d/, ""),
However the gsub method will also clear the information in the green rectangle.
Is there any way to grab the text in html excepting the text of hyperlink ?
here's the html link I need to parse
You can remove all the links before converting to text with nokogiri:
table = doc.css(".page table")[0]
table.css("a").each(&:remove)
Edit: Alternatively, you can have a regexp that only removes numbers at the end of a string and if they're preceded by a letter, which seems like it may work in this specific case but cannot be relied upon to work in similar cases:
cell.text.strip.downcase.gsub(/(?<=\w)\d$/, "")
Is there a way to have HTML markup inside {msg} not turned into placeholders when using SoyMsgExtractor?
Say I have some documentation:
{msg desc="Document X, can contain HTML markup"}
<p>Foo bar baz</p>
<p>Blah <b>blah</b> blah</p>
{/msg}
And I want the translatable message to contain the HTML markup rather than having it turned into placeholders. I.e. I'd like the generated XLIFF to read:
<source><p>Foo bar baz</p><p>Blah <b>blah</b> blah</p></source>
or
<source><![CDATA[<p>Foo bar baz</p><p>Blah <b>blah</b>blah</p>]]></source>
rather than
<source><x id="START_PARAGRAPH"/>Foo bar baz<x id="END_PARAGRAPH"/><x id="START_PARAGRAPH"/>
That way, translators can really feel free to split or merge paragraphs, add bold or italics, etc.
Additionally, it'd probably make the msg processing easier and possibly faster.
