Comparison to sphinx-panels

This package is an iteration on sphinx-panels and intends to replace it.

• Replaces panel directive with top-level grid + children grid-item-card
  • less "bespoke" syntax
  • grid-item can be used when no card is needed
  • card can be used independently of grids
• tabs changed:
  • top-level tab-set
  • tabbed -> tab-item
  • include :sync: option to synchronize tab selection across sets
• Minimises direct use of CSS classes (encourage to not use them)
  • More declarative, easy to understand options, easier to validate
  • Easier to work with non-HTML outputs
  • Easier to improve/refactor
• Updated Bootstrap CSS v4 -> v5
  • top-level grid can define both column numbers and gutter sizes
• All CSS classes are prefixed with sd- (no clash with other theme/extension CSS)
• All colors use CSS variables (customisable)

TODO

• note design goal; to be flexible, but limit the amount of directive nesting required. This factors in to
  • card header/footer syntax? (don't really want to have to use separate directives for these, hence ^^^/+++ syntax)
  • auto-wrap grid-item and tab-item, if not already inside grid or tab-set?

grids items cannot contain headers; is this in anyway possible with docutils structure?

naming of directives/roles: standard prefix?

why are cards setup with "word-wrap: break-word;"?

handle latex

Use autoprefixer when compiling SASS (see https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/getting-started/browsers-devices/#supported-browsers)
