Javascript errors when building CHM file from django docs using Sphinx

[Aryeh Leib Taurog <vim@…>]

Sphinx 1.0.3
Python 2.5.2
Django 1.2.3 and 1.2.4

I tried generating a chm of the django documentation, but when I opened it, I got a js error 'jQuery' is undefined.
I can see that the only script referenced in the html is templatebuiltins.js, (it seems that is generated by a django extension which isn't used for htmlhelp).

I tried changing the link in the html files to point to a js bundle with the contents of the following files (in order):

_static/jquery.js
_static/underscore.js
_static/doctools.js
_static/searchtools.js

I also threw in a declaration of django_template_builtins, but I'm still getting other errors. My guess is that most of the javascript isn't really necessary in the chm, which is very easy to navigate and search as is.

Ultimately, I just removed all the script tags from the html files and recompiled the chm.

I think it would be nice to be able to generate an error-free chm without so much effort.

Looks like it is just a question of pointing the htmlhelp builder to a version of the layout.html template which doesn't contain the script tags.

Is there an easy way to specify different templates for different builders?

Hi,

I know, 3 years are a long time.

Anyways, here's a patch, that makes CHM compilation readily available out of box ​https://github.com/mpasternak/django/commit/1336d8f8599f8d0571893c0bbd03f52f66eb36ef ,
and here's an issue I created for it https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/21558

With kind regards,
Michal

I'm going to close this as duplicate of #21558 that, even if newer, has a patch and renewed energies.
