# Tiara's Sphinx Theme Reference Implementation
-> **Heads up**: This is a work-in-progress reference implementation to showcase
- how [Tiara's HTML Theming Reference](https://github.com/ByteB4rb1e/html-theme-ref)
- can integrate with a from-scratch Sphinx documentation theme. I'll be *working
- backwards*, so expect the project to align with this *README*, not the other
- way around.
+> 🛌 **NOTICE:** This project is taking a naap. It depends upon
+ [html-theme-ref](https://github.com/byteb4rb1e/html-theme-ref), which hasn't
+ stabilized yet. I will restart work around June '25.
-This implementation is designed to elevate Sphinx documentation through a
-modular, standards-driven approach. Built from the ground up using Tiara's HTML
-Theming Reference, this project reflects a commitment to accessibility,
-frugality, and adherence to the UNIX philosophy.
+## Installation
-**What This Is**
-- A **minimalistic yet extensible** Sphinx theme built with a CSS-first mindset.
-- A **reference implementation** to show how HTML themes can integrate
- seamlessly with Sphinx.
-- A **template** for developers aiming to build documentation themes with
- clarity and modularity in mind.
+The program is aimed towards UNIX/GNU in POSIX environments. NT users in
+PowerShell may consult `configure.ac` for initial configuration and `Makefile`
+for development/build targets.
-**What This Is NOT**
-- A pre-packaged Sphinx theme ready for production use.
-- A general-purpose theming framework—this is specific to the philosophy behind
- Tiara's HTML Theming Reference.

-## Why Use This?
-
-For developers seeking a straightforward and modular solution, this reference
-implementation provides a clear and adaptable foundation. It’s designed to
-empower users to create documentation themes that reflect their specific
-requirements without unnecessary complexity.
-
-### Key Principles:
-
-1. **Accessibility First**
-
-Fully compliant with a11y standards to make documentation inclusive
-
-2. **Frugal Engineering**
-
-Lightweight, efficient design for optimal performance.
-
-3. **CSS First**
-
-Declarative styling ensures better maintainability.
-
-4. **UNIX Philosophy**
-
-Each piece does one thing well—and nothing more.
-
-5. **Customizability**
-
-Easily adapt the theme to suit your documentation needs.
-

-
-## Goals
-
-This project demonstrates how Tiara's HTML Theming Reference integrates with
-documentation platforms like Sphinx by:
-
-- **Showcasing Modularity**: Focusing on separation of concerns for clean,
- maintainable code.
-- **Exploring Scalability**: Demonstrating how to standardize HTML theming
- across platforms.
-- **Promoting Standards**: Adhering to W3C, accessibility guidelines, and UNIX
- principles.
-
-For the philosophy behind this, see [Tiara's HTML Theming Reference README](https://github.com/ByteB4rb1e/html-theme-ref).
