The default is + an empty list. This is the right place to set global graph, node or edge + attributes via dot's ``-G``, ``-N`` and ``-E`` options. + +.. confval:: graphviz_output_format + + The output format for Graphviz when building HTML files. This must be either + ``'png'`` or ``'svg'``; the default is ``'png'``. If ``'svg'`` is used, in + order to make the URL links work properly, an appropriate ``target`` + attribute must be set, such as ``"_top"`` and ``"_blank"``. For example, the + link in the following graph should work in the svg output: :: + + .. graphviz:: + + digraph example { + a [label="sphinx", href="https://www.sphinx-doc.org/", target="_top"]; + b [label="other"]; + a -> b; + } + + .. versionadded:: 1.0 + Previously, output always was PNG. |
