Quick Start Guide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
------------
.. code:: bash
pip install sphinx-fediverse
Configuration
-------------
There are a several values that you may provide:
.. table::
======================== =============================================== ===============================
Option Description Example
======================== =============================================== ===============================
html_baseurl The host your documentation will be on https://www.sphinx-doc.org/
fedi_flavor The API your server implements ``'mastodon'`` or ``'misskey'``
fedi_username The username of the account to make posts on xkcd
fedi_instance The host you're making comments on botsin.space
comments_mapping_file The name of the comments map file comments_mapping.json (default)
replace_index_with_slash True to replace ``/index.html`` with ``/`` True (default)
enable_post_creation True to automatically post, False for manual True (default)
raise_error_if_no_post True to raise an error if not post is made True (default)
comment_fetch_depth The number of recursive fetches to make 5 (default)
comment_section_level The header level of the comments section 2 (default)
comment_section_title The title of the comments section Comments (default)
allow_custom_emoji Whether to replace emoji shortcodes with images True (default)
allow_sensitive_emoji Whether to parse sensitive custom emoji False (default)
allow_media_attachments Whether to include attached images True (default)
allow_avatars Whether to include user avatar images True (default)
delay_comment_load Delay loading comments until they are in view True (default)
default_reaction_emoji The default reaction to use when unsupported ❤ (default)
fedi_retry_delay The amount of time to wait on rate-limit error 100 (default, in ms)
======================== =============================================== ===============================
We also rely on environment variables for authentication.
For Mastodon instances we require: ``MASTODON_CLIENT_ID``, ``MASTODON_CLIENT_SECRET``, ``MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN``.
For Misskey instances we require: ``MISSKEY_ACCESS_TOKEN``.
Each of these must be set if you want to have automatic post creation. They are
intentionally not included in the config file so you are incentivized to not store them publicly.
Usage
-----
To use this extension, simply add it to your ``conf.py``'s extension list:
.. code:: python
extensions = [
# ...
'sphinx_fediverse',
]
And add the following to each page you want a comments section to appear in:
.. code:: reStructuredText
.. fedi-comments::
This will enable a comments section for each post. Upon build, a Mastodon post will be generated for each new page.
This will be stored in the same directory as your config file. The ID of each page's post will be embedded into the
output documents, and used to retrieve comments.
.. warning::
sphinx-fediverse only works in pure HTML builds. If you produce other builds, you *must* wrap it in an "only" directive
.. code:: reStructuredText
.. only:: html
.. fedi-comments::
Directive Options
-----------------
In addition to the above configuration values, you can modify most of them on a per-directive basis!

Dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~
JavaScript
----------
Note that by using this plugin, you will be including the following in your page:
- `Marked <https://marked.js.org/>`_ for rendering Markdown (Misskey only)
- `DOMPurify <https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify>`_ for HTML sanitization
We also use `Babel <https://babeljs.io/>`_ to ensure compatibility with most browsers. This is not included directly,
but is used to pre-process the included javascript before release.
Python
------
In the Python stack, you will be utilizing the following:
- `Sphinx <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/>`_
- `docutils <https://docutils.sourceforge.io/>`_
- At least one of: `Mastodon.py <https://github.com/halcy/Mastodon.py>`_, `Misskey.py <https://github.com/YuzuRyo61/Misskey.py>`_
Privacy Policy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When rendering federated comments, this extension may load images, custom emoji, or avatars directly from third-party
Fediverse instances (e.g. mastodon.social, misskey.io). As with any embedded resource, your visitors' browsers may send
requests to those instances, which can include their IP address and user agent.
This extension performs no tracking, remote logging, or cookie storage. All data is fetched live in the browser at page
load and is never persisted or sent to third parties by the extension itself.
If you are concerned about data exposure to remote domains, you may disable media attachments, custom emoji, or avatars
using directive options such as ``allow_media_attachments``, ``allow_custom_emoji``, ``allow_avatars``. Any help in
ensuring full GDPR (and similar) compliance would be greatly appreciated.
