Modifying sphinx_bootstrap_theme method rendering

Question

I have some API Documentation which I'm mostly happy with.

I'm using the sphinx_bootstrap_theme to render my doc style. However, I want to modify how each API method renders.

Today the docs look like this:

I want to make a small change to the bootstrap theme, such that I get an HR between every method like this:

QUESTION:
Where do I modify sphinx_bootstrap_theme such that I can customize the rendering of these methods?

I looked through the sphinx_bootstrap_theme templates, but I can't seem to find the template I have to monkey with to make this work right.

If you want to see how I've configured my docs, you can find the source tree here

Usually, it is a bit tricky to tweak the original code. What I personally do and so far was happy with is the overwrite the existing style by adding a custom css to implement some minor changes. The way I do it:

Create a folder called css under source/_static
Add a new css (for example: custom.css) file that includes your desired changes.
Add the following code to your conf.py

def setup(app):
    app.add_stylesheet('css/custom.css')

Save and build

I see, my bad. I assumed it is similar to [basicstrap](https://pythonhosted.org/sphinxjp.themes.basicstrap/) – SuperKogito May 27 '19 at 16:26
doh, it was my bad... I should have heeded the path you put in your example... it worked after tweaking it... I just added 1em padding and it renders much more cleanly now – Mike Pennington May 27 '19 at 16:32
Glad it helped. – SuperKogito May 27 '19 at 16:34
