<h1>Contribute Documentation<a class="headerlink" href="#contribute-documentation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>PaddlePaddle supports English documentation <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">doc</span></code> and Chinese documentation <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">doc_cn</span></code>.
Both are compiled by <a class="reference external" href="https://cmake.org/">cmake</a> and <a class="reference external" href="http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/1.4.8/">sphinx</a> , the compiled documentations will be stored under <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">doc</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">doc_cn</span></code> directories.
When using the PaddlePaddle.org to compile documentations, the compiled documentations will be stored under a consolidated directory: .ppo_workspace/content</p>
<div class="section" id="how-to-build-documentations">
<h2>How to Build Documentations<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-build-documentations" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>We recommend using PaddlePaddle.org tool to build documentation</p>
<div class="section" id="use-paddlepaddle-org-tool">
<h3>Use PaddlePaddle.org tool<a class="headerlink" href="#use-paddlepaddle-org-tool" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>This is the recommended method to build documentation. It can compile documentation and preview the documentation in a web browser.</p>
<p>The tool uses Docker, please install it on your system. Please check Docker official website on how to install Docker. You may use the following commands to activate the tool</p>
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>mkdir paddlepaddle <span class="c1"># Create paddlepaddle working directory</span>
<span class="nb">cd</span> paddlepaddle
<span class="c1"># Clone the content repositories. You may only clone the contents you need</span>
git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle.git
git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/book.git
git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/models.git
git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Mobile.git
<span class="c1"># Please specify the working directory through -v</span>
docker run -it -p <span class="m">8000</span>:8000 -v <span class="sb">`</span><span class="nb">pwd</span><span class="sb">`</span>:/var/content paddlepaddle/paddlepaddle.org:latest
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Note: PaddlePaddle.org will read the content repos specified in the -v (volume) flag of the docker run command
Use a web browser and navigate to <a class="reference external" href="http://localhost:8000">http://localhost:8000</a>, click the buttons to compile the documentation
The compiled documentations will be stored in <paddlepaddle working directory>/.ppo_workspace/content</p>
<p>If you don’t wish to use Docker, you can also activate the tool through Django. Use the following the commands to set up</p>
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>mkdir paddlepaddle <span class="c1"># Create paddlepaddle working directory</span>
<span class="nb">cd</span> paddlepaddle
