Page CSS styling lost when used as subproject

[jo-mueller]

Details

Not sure if it's a bug and maybe there is a simple explanation for what I'm doing wrong. Long story short, I have two projects, and would like one to be a subproject of another.

If I do that, then the built pages lose the entire css styling, apparently. I guess this is because the parent and subproject use different build frameworks (sphinx vs jupyter book 2)? If there's a workaround, that would be fantastic.

• Read the Docs project URL: https://readthedocs.org/projects/{your_project_slug}/
• Read the Docs username (if applicable): https://readthedocs.org/profiles/jo-mueller

Expected Result

What I would want to see, is for the subproject to appear as it would as a standalone project, even if it's a subproject of another project.

Actual Result

Using the page as a subproject leads me to a page without css styling as a result.

Thanks in advance!

The HTML output is using fully qualified paths to the files, which change when you change how the file is hosted:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/en/latest/build/_assets/app-5WKS5EPQ.css"/>

Hi @ericholscher ,

thanks for the hint, I did find quite a bit of discussion on the matter. I tried setting the base_url parameter in the readthedocs build instructions, but that just leads to index.html not being found anymore 😬

Is there a way to solve this within the scope of rtd config? Or is this more of a jupyter book problem?

That is an option for the tool to control.
