Contributing Documentation
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation is often more important than code. This page helps
|
||||
you get set up on how to contribute documentation to JupyterHub.
|
||||
|
||||
Building documentation locally
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
We use `sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org>`_ to build our documentation. It takes
|
||||
our documentation source files (written in `markdown
|
||||
<https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/>`_ or `reStructuredText
|
||||
<http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html>`_ &
|
||||
stored under the ``docs/source`` directory) and converts it into various
|
||||
formats for people to read. To make sure the documentation you write or
|
||||
change renders correctly, it is good practice to test it locally.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Make sure you have successfuly completed :ref:`contributing/setup`.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Install the packages required to build the docs.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
#. Build the html version of the docs. This is the most commonly used
|
||||
output format, so verifying it renders as you should is usually good
|
||||
enough.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
cd docs
|
||||
make html
|
||||
|
||||
This step will display any syntax or formatting errors in the documentation,
|
||||
along with the filename / line number in which they occurred. Fix them,
|
||||
and re-run the ``make html`` command to re-render the documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
#. View the rendered documentation by opening ``build/html/index.html`` in
|
||||
a web browser.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
|
||||
On macOS, you can open a file from the terminal with ``open <path-to-file>``.
|
||||
On Linux, you can do the same with ``xdg-open <path-to-file>``.
