literal percent sign in literal text

[Bob DuCharme]

When I have a percent sign in literal text it italicizes the character after it and they both are shown in a lighter color. For example: 

:: 

       here is text '%sample'

In the HTML rendered by Sphinx, the 's' above will be italicized and the '%s' show up in a lighter color. Backslash doesn't help. If I make it '%%sample', there is no italicizing but both percent signs show up. 

How can I make the "here is" line above show up as-is after doing a Sphinx build? 

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob,

Perhaps not exactly what you want, but...

.. raw:: html

   <pre>here is text '%sample'</pre>

 

.. raw:: html    
   <div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre>here is text '%sample'</pre></div></div

might be of some help?  (I just took the classes in you example's output and put them as raw html, without the nested spans that actually create the highlight)

HTH,

Stefano

Thanks Stefano, that worked! It took me a while to get the spacing right, but now I have just what I want. 

I didn't know about "raw:: html". That's going to be useful in the future.

Hi Bob,

By default, Sphinx considers all of code-block is a python code. So it
is highlighted as python code. Not to highlight them as python, please
configure "highlight_language = 'none'" in your conf.py.
see https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/configuration.html#confval-highlight_language

Thanks,

Thanks Takeshi, that also worked and is good to know about.
