TypoScript configuration

In order for this extension to be usable, make sure to include the static template that is provided with this extension ("Sphinx Documentation Viewer: Base").

Hint

If you are using Bootstrap 4, you are likely to want to include the additional Bootstrap static template we provide.

The TypoScript configuration should be generic enough to let you fine tune the rendering process to fit your needs. As an example, for a project I changed the rendering of the images to:

Add an overlay shown when the mouse enters pictures with the ALT label
Add a fancybox (lightbox) for the image whenever it got resized, but not when the image was not resized (does not make sense to show a lightbox with the very same image...
Do not do those changes for small inline images (say smaller than 100px width)

This is just a matter of playing with TypoScript, something you should love anyway as a TYPO3 integrator. Please note that the extension comes with a directory containing TypoScript snippets.
