# Corda Documentation Build
|
|
|
|
This Readme describes how to build the Corda documentation for the current version. The output html files will be written to the `corda\docs\build\html` directory.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites / First time build
|
|
|
|
Before you begin, you need to:
|
|
1. Install Docker.
|
|
1. Ensure that Docker is running.
|
|
1. Select **Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS** in the Docker Settings (which you can open from the **System Tray** by right-clicking the **Docker symbol** and then selecting **Settings**)
|
|
|
|
## Build process
|
|
1. Open a cmd dialogue.
|
|
1. Navigate to the root location (this is the `\corda` directory)
|
|
1. Run the documentation build (`gradlew makeDocs` or `./gradlew makeDocs`)
|
|
|
|
**Windows users:** *If this task fails because Docker can't find make-docsite.sh, go to Settings > Shared Drives in the Docker system tray
|
|
agent, make sure the relevant drive is shared, and click 'Reset credentials'.*
|
|
|
|
# RST style guide
|
|
|
|
The Corda documentation is described using the ReStructured Text (RST) markup language. For details of the syntax, see [this](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html).
|
|
|
|
# Version placeholders
|
|
|
|
We currently support the following placeholders; they get substituted with the correct value at build time:
|
|
|
|
```groovy
|
|
"|corda_version|"
|
|
"|corda_version_lower|"
|
|
"|java_version|"
|
|
"|kotlin_version|"
|
|
"|gradle_plugins_version|"
|
|
"|quasar_version|"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you put one of these in an rst file anywhere (including in a code tag), it will be substituted with the value from `constants.properties`
|
|
(which is in the root of the project) at build time. `corda_version_lower` returns the current Corda version in lowercase which is useful
|
|
for case sensitive artifacts such as docker images.
|
|
|
|
The code for this can be found near the top of the conf.py file in the `docs/source` directory.
