Managing Documentation
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
This documentation is generated via the
|
|
`Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/>`_ tool from sources in the tree.
|
|
|
|
To build the documentation, run ``mach build-docs``. Run
|
|
``mach help build-docs`` to see configurable options.
|
|
|
|
Adding Documentation
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
To add new documentation, define the ``SPHINX_TREES`` and
|
|
``SPHINX_PYTHON_PACKAGE_DIRS`` variables in ``moz.build`` files in
|
|
the tree and documentation will automatically get picked up.
|
|
|
|
Say you have a directory ``featureX`` you would like to write some
|
|
documentation for. Here are the steps to create Sphinx documentation
|
|
for it:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a directory for the docs. This is typically ``docs``. e.g.
|
|
``featureX/docs``.
|
|
2. Create an ``index.rst`` file in this directory. The ``index.rst`` file
|
|
is the root documentation for that section. See ``build/docs/index.rst``
|
|
for an example file.
|
|
3. In a ``moz.build`` file (typically the one in the parent directory of
|
|
the ``docs`` directory), define ``SPHINX_TREES`` to hook up the plumbing.
|
|
e.g. ``SPHINX_TREES['featureX'] = 'docs'``. This says *the ``docs``
|
|
directory under the current directory should be installed into the
|
|
Sphinx documentation tree under ``/featureX``*.
|
|
4. If you have Python packages you would like to generate Python API
|
|
documentation for, you can use ``SPHINX_PYTHON_PACKAGE_DIRS`` to
|
|
declare directories containing Python packages. e.g.
|
|
``SPHINX_PYTHON_PACKAGE_DIRS += ['mozpackage']``.
