Enable optional links to *next* and *previous* items

[minchinweb]

Fixes #18. I finally got annoyed enough at the feature not being there that I added it myself.

The links are optional, and off by default. Under theme options, set show_relbars = True to enable them.

The top and bottom bars can be individually toggled. The border color can also be customized. Documentation is also included.

Awesome, thanks!

How soon until a release that has this? It's already live on the readthedocs site (which shows the dev docs).

[asmeurer]

It also would be nice if the prev and next links had different css ids so that one could style them separately (I'd prefer to make the prev links float left).

[minchinweb]

@asmeurer : You can already target the CSS for the top and bottom links separately, and this is actually done by the theme.

.related {
    // applies to both sets of links
}

.related.top {
    // applies to only the top links
}

.related.bottom {
    // applies to only the bottom links
}

[asmeurer]

No I want to style the previous and next separately, not the top and bottom. I want to put the previous link on the left.

@asmeurer try using the pseudo-classes :first and :last

[asmeurer]

@minchinweb I assume you mean :first-child and :last-child. :first seems to be related to printing.

I'm pretty new to CSS, but I can't figure out how to make this work. Note that on both the first and last page, there is only one link in the rellinks nav, but in the two cases I would want them to be on opposite sides. I thought I could use attribute selectors to select based on the title, but that doesn't select the arrow.

I'm sure there's a way to do it, but I don't know enough CSS to get it done. It would be much simpler if the previous and next links had separate CSS classes.

(also FWIW, I think what I'm trying to do should be the default in the theme, but I'll leave that decision up to @bitprophet)

[bitprophet]

Having extra classes seems reasonable if it's easy to do (haven't looked myself yet). I think that should be a separate ticket, however - feel free to make one.

Re: release of this merge: I'll try to pop out an 0.7.11 sometime, there's outstanding release process issues but AFAIK this is backwards compatible so we should still be able to put out a tertiary release.

[asmeurer]

I went ahead and implemented it #135. I put the CSS I'm using there so you can decide which you prefer as the default.

[minchinweb]

@asmeurer I glad you could get something with CSS working. I tried a couple of things, I couldn't get it working on my end...

[asmeurer]

You mean you tried #135 and couldn't get it to work? I've been using it at https://www.asmeurer.com/brown-water-python/ (with this custom.css https://github.com/asmeurer/brown-water-python/blob/4edf12f0b710a4c6878d28811a14a9fcdb4471f9/docs/_static/custom.css#L1-L20)

[minchinweb]

@asmeurer No, I was trying to hack my own code to get it to display like you were wanting it to. I thought I'd managed to do that at one point early in my work on this, but couldn't figure it out again; maybe it never worked for me, I don't know. So I'm glad you found a working solution, and that it made it into the newest release!

[asmeurer]

Is it actually in the release? #135 wasn't merged.

[minchinweb]

Apparently I'm not paying quite enough attention, but it looks like it's (#135) slated for the next release.

[bitprophet]

I'll be releasing soon, been tied up with other thing and projects, but I intend to sweep through all repos and put any unreleased code out on PyPI this week.

Thanks for the update @bitprophet, psyched for this to get released. Btw #125 has already been approved and should just be a matter of clicking merge in case you can land that too before the release.
