Fluid Documentation Skeleton

Build

To build documentation, you need have a linux machine and have python2, virtualenv, gmake installed.

Preparation

You need to create a virtualenv instead of polute the global python library path

virtualenv .env

You can enter virtualenv by

source .env/bin/activate

You can exit virtualenv by

deactivate

Install dependencies

# enter virtualenv
source .env/bin/activate
# install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Make HTML

# make clean  # make clean to regenerate toctree. Just `make html` may have a cache.
make html

and the html files will be generated to build/html. You can open build/html/index.html with your browser to see the documentation.

Edit

Edit documentation

It is suggested to use reStructuredText because it is the only official markup language supportted by our documentation generating system, sphinx. markdown can also be used. However, since the markdown has so many dialects, there is no guarantee that the markdown source file can be rendered well.

The reStructuredText cheatsheet is here.

Edit structure

The sphinx (our documentation generating system) uses toctree to organize documentation. toctree means table of content tree.

Please see the sphinx documentation, especially toctree directives
