An extension to use emoji codes in your Sphinx documentation!

pip install sphinxemoji

Enable the Sphinx extension(s) in your conf.py file:

extensions = [
    '...',
    'sphinxemoji.sphinxemoji',
]

Then you can use emoji code replacements by writing them between bars:

This text includes a smiley face |:smile:| and a snake too! |:snake:|

Don't you love it? |:heart_eyes:|

If you want a consistent emoji style, you can set it in your conf.py file:

sphinxemoji_style = 'twemoji'

You can find the list of all supported emoji codes in the project's documentation page.

Emoji substitutions are processed after default substitutions like |release|, |version| and |today|, but before any other substitutions in source files (i.e. emoji substitutions can be overriden).
