[sphinx-users] Re: how do I add subtitle?
thank you so much for the reply. I'll look at these things and see how I
do. Appreciate the links to the examples.

Hi
(Excuse the newby question -- I am new to rst and sphinx and the person

I need to add a subtitle to an existing doc.
Sphinx docs on the internet tell me that to add a title/subtitle, I
simply need to add this to my "file":
*
Title
*
subtitle
subsubtitle
***
and so on
However, I don't know where to add this. If I look at my conf.py file,
which currently has a project name that controls the doc title, it looks
like this (title is not formatted as suggested above). Title is defined by
what is in *project = *:

[sphinx-users] Re: how do I add subtitle?
Yes and no.
In the latex section of the conf.py, you will see a latex_elements dict
being defined. This is where you can modify your preamble. You can put
your definition there, but most people read in a separate file or two,
since when you update your document format, the changes can be extensive
and difficult to read in the conf.py.
My approach thus far was to create my own .sty to has commands to change
the headers/footers, and redefines \maketitle (which you can see part of in
the previous post). The title is written on the page with this:
\begin{center}%
\sphinxlogo%
{\rm\Huge\py@HeaderFamily \@title \par}%
{\em\LARGE\py@HeaderFamily \py@release\releaseinfo \par}
Which you can see in the sphinx.sty file. This is probably where you would
want to put in a subtitle. Note the Sphinx defines \@title, \py@release,
and \releaseinfo for you. If you want any other variables, you will need
to define them in your preamble. You get this added to your build
directory by modifying the latex_additional_files list in the conf.py:
latex_additional_files = ['your_sty_file.sty',
]
I have followed other examples, by making the preamble its own .tex file
and treating that as string.Template object, so in my conf.py I have the
following:
PREAMBLE = string.Template(open(
os.path.join(os.path.abspath('.'),
'latex_templates/preamble.tex')
).read())
Then in the latex_elements dict in the conf.py I have:
latex_elements = {
...
'preamble': PREAMBLE.substitute(...),
...
}
Please look at some open source examples online for how other people have
their projects setup:
- https://github.com/mapserver/docs
- https://github.com/i6/ibg
You can probably find more examples online. These are two that I have read
through and found helpful.

Thank you for this!! I do want a subtitle on the cover page of a PDF doc.
What file to I update with the content you've given? (conf.py?)

[sphinx-users] Re: how do I add subtitle?
Can you clarify what you mean by "subtitle"?
The reST you posted (assuming it is all in one file) says make a Heading 1
('Title'), followed by a Heading 2 ('subtitle') followed by a Heading 1
('subsubtitle'). This is because you used the same character ('*') for
heading 1, then used it again for, for what looks like it should be, a
heading 3. In reST, any 4 consecutive characters that begin a line can be
used as a heading indicator. Overlines are optional, underlines are
manditory and need to be at least as long as the text they are trying to
over/underline. If you use overlines, then they need to be the same length
as the underline. If you follow the python guidelines, then use # for
heading 1, * for heading 2, and = for heading 3 (IIRC).
It looks like you are trying to build a PDF from your question. If someone
asked about a subtitle for PDF output, then I assume that they mean some
some text that is slightly smaller than the title, on the title page. If
this is what you want, you will need to modify your preamble to redefine
\maketitle.
\renewcommand{\maketitle}{%
\begin{titlepage}%
% Put your content here
\end{titlepage}%
\cleardoublepage%
\setcounter{footnote}{0}%
\let\thanks\relax\let\maketitle\relax
%\@ifundefined{fancyhf}{}{\pagestyle{normal}}%
}
You can find the default definition in one of the .sty files that is
included with Sphinx.
