Building the documentation¶
The documentation is under the docs folder, and is written in reStructuredText format. Documentation in HTML format
is pre-generated, as well as code documentation, and this can be done automatically via a provided script.
Requirements¶
To build the documentation, you will need:
- GNU Make
- Python and pip (tested with Python 2.7.10)
- Dokka: https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka
- Sphinx: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/
- sphinx_rtd_theme: https://github.com/snide/sphinx_rtd_theme
The Dokka JAR file needs to be placed under the lib directory within the r3prototyping directory, in order for the
script to find it, as in:
corda/lib/dokka.jar
Note that to install under OS X El Capitan, you will need to tell pip to install under /usr/local, which can be
done by specifying the installation target on the command line:
sudo -H pip install --install-option '--install-data=/usr/local' Sphinx
sudo -H pip install --install-option '--install-data=/usr/local' sphinx_rtd_theme
Build¶
Once the requirements are installed, you can automatically build the HTML format user documentation and the API documentation by running the following script:
docs/generate-docsite.sh
Alternatively you can build non-HTML formats from the docs folder. Change directory to the folder and then run the
following to see a list of all available formats:
make
For example to produce the documentation in HTML format:
make html
