Tech white paper refresh, part 1. In part 1: * A new section is added on package namespace ownership and the no-overlap rule. * The spelling of "serialize" is standardized on the US spelling used by the code, and add some content on serialization to the docs. * Make a variety of smaller edits intended to make it read better. * Spelling fixes. * The discussion of C-I is temporarily removed, pending later re-addition in a new privacy section. * Reference states are described. * More TODOs are added to help me keep track of things that are needed. * The discussion of time and clock sync is updated. * The discussion of identity lookups is removed. |

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:
- Install Docker.
- Ensure that Docker is running.
- 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
- Open a cmd dialogue.
- Navigate to the root location (this is the
\cordadirectory) - Run the documentation build (
gradlew makeDocsor./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.
Version placeholders
We currently support the following placeholders; they get substituted with the correct value at build time:
"|corda_version|"
"|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.
The code for this can be found near the top of the conf.py file in the docs/source directory.
