The BigchainDB Documentation Strategy
- Include explanatory comments and docstrings in your code. Write Google style docstrings with a maximum line width of 119 characters.
- For quick overview and help documents, feel free to create
README.mdor otherX.mdfiles, written using GitHub-flavored Markdown. Markdown files render nicely on GitHub. We might auto-convert some .md files into a format that can be included in the long-form documentation. - We use Sphinx to generate the long-form documentation in various formats (e.g. HTML, PDF).
- We also use Sphinx to generate Python code documentation (from docstrings and possibly other sources).
- We also use Sphinx to document all REST APIs, with the help of the
httpdomainextension.
How to Generate the HTML Version of the Long-Form Documentation
If you want to generate the HTML version of the long-form documentation on your local machine, you need to have Sphinx and some Sphinx-contrib packages installed. To do that, go to a subdirectory of docs (e.g. docs/server) and do:
pip install -r requirements.txt
You can then generate the HTML documentation in that subdirectory by doing:
make html
It should tell you where the generated documentation (HTML files) can be found. You can view it in your web browser.
