May.la Installation

• create repo on GitHub and clone it
• chane into the repo directory
• run sphinx-quickstart - say yes here:

You have two options for placing the build directory for Sphinx output.
Either, you use a directory "_build" within the root path, or you separate
"source" and "build" directories within the root path.
> Separate source and build directories (y/n) [n]:

• delete make.bat - we do not work with windows
• config git with git config pull.rebase true
• install https://sphinx-rtd-theme.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
• install https://myst-nb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
  • add it to extensions
  • turn off notebook building: jupyter_execute_notebooks = "off"
• turn off prev_next_buttons:

html_theme_options = {
    "prev_next_buttons_location": None,
}

Commands

• convert reStructuredText to Markdown: pandoc -s -t commonmark -o <target>.md <source>.rst
