After switching to the PyData Sphinx theme, the very large table
with the loader specification became too wide to be readable.
These changes make the table scrollable again, remove the right sidebar,
highlight the name column and add stripe to rows.

They are stopgap measure as such a table might not the best way to
present this information.

Software Heritage - Loader foundations

The Software Heritage Loader Core is a low-level loading utilities and helpers used by :term:`loaders <loader>`.

The main entry points are classes: - :class:`swh.loader.core.loader.BaseLoader` for VCS loaders (e.g. svn) - :class:`swh.loader.core.loader.DVCSLoader` for DVCS loaders (e.g. git, ...) - :class:`swh.loader.core.loader.ContentLoader` for Content loader - :class:`swh.loader.core.loader.DirectoryLoader` for Directory loader - :class:`swh.loader.package.loader.PackageLoader` for Package loaders (e.g. PyPI, Npm, ...) - ...

Package loaders

This package also implements many package loaders directly, out of convenience, as they usually are quite similar and each fits in a single file.

They all roughly follow these steps, explained in the :py:meth:`swh.loader.package.loader.PackageLoader.load` documentation. See the :ref:`package-loader-tutorial` for details.

VCS loaders

Unlike package loaders, VCS loaders remain in separate packages, as they often need more advanced conversions and very VCS-specific operations.

This usually involves getting the branches of a repository and recursively loading revisions in the history (and directory trees in these revisions), until a known revision is found
