How to remove bullets from numbered toctree in restructured text?

Question

I am using a toctree in Sphinx to automatically generate a table of contents for a webpage.

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 2
   :numbered:

   First
   Second
   Third

which creates (roughly):

• 1. First
• 2. Second
• 3. Third

I want the numbers, but I don't want the bullets. Is there some magic I'm missing that gives me the enumerated list without the bullets?

Answer 1

That's a minor annoyance which can be corrected with a custom style.

.toctree-wrapper ul li {
    list-style-type: none;
}

To override the default style sheet, you can add a custom style sheet to your static directory with the above style, then include it by specifying it in the conf.py:

html_css_files = [
    'css/custom.css',
]
