Publishing documentation online
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You may want to publish an online reference for your GDExtension, similar to this website.
|
||||
The most important step is to build reStructuredText (``.rst``) files from your XML class reference:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
# You need a version.py file, so download it first.
|
||||
curl -sSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/godotengine/godot/refs/heads/master/version.py
|
||||
|
||||
# Edit version.py according to your project before proceeding.
|
||||
# Then, run the rst generator. You'll need to have Python installed for this command to work.
|
||||
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/godotengine/godot/master/doc/tools/make_rst.py | python3 - -o "docs/classes" -l "en" doc_classes
|
||||
|
||||
Your ``.rst`` files will now be available in ``docs/classes/``. From here, you can use
|
||||
any documentation builder that supports reStructuredText syntax to create a website from them.
|
||||
|
||||
`godot-docs <https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs>`_ uses `Sphinx <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>`_. You can use the repository as a basis to build your own documentation system. The following guide describes the basic steps, but they are not exhaustive: You will need a bit of personal insight to make it work.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add `godot-docs <https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs>`_ as a submodule to your ``docs/`` folder.
|
||||
2. Copy over its ``conf.py``, ``index.rst``, ``.readthedocs.yaml`` files into ``/docs/``. You may later decide to copy over and edit more of godot-docs' files, like ``_templates/layout.html``.
|
||||
3. Modify these files according to your project. This mostly involves adjusting paths to point to the ``godot-docs`` subfolder, as well as strings to reflect it's your project rather than Godot you're building the docs for.
|
||||
4. Create an account on `readthedocs.org <http://readthedocs.org>`_. Import your project, and modify its base ``.readthedocs.yaml`` file path to ``/docs/.readthedocs.yaml``.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have completed all these steps, your documentation should be available at ``<repo-name>.readthedocs.io``.
